I keep them in the safe. Unfortunately my safe is not fire rated, so if I have a fire, the guns and knives are not going to be happy. That really should be my next investment.
My cousin had a fire a few years ago. Wiped him out. He lost 40+ guns including family heirlooms.
When he built his new place, first thing he did was build in a concrete fire lined room with a fire proof steel door, and an independent fire suppressant system. The system is on it's own back up water supply etc. It is a walk in safe!

idahoskunk: I'm speechless, that is awesome. I keep my Busse GW sheathed on my Desk so I can grap it easily when I go outdoors. IMHO Busses are user's so I keep my current Busse and up comming one's in so they are easily available for using.

This secure warehouse holds most of my collection...
Jaxx, in your warehouse photo it looks like your Busse stock is a little low.
There seems to be a void on the top left shelf there.

I like the "Intermediate" chests - the chests that go in the middle without wheels and without lids. The Intermediate chests tend to have 2" - 3" drawers which both work great for knife storage.
I have been using Craftsman "Intermediate" chests for a few years now and can't imagine a much better arrangement for my needs. :thumbup: And Full extension ball bearing drawers can't be beat. :thumbup:
I use Intermediate chests because they can be locked and don't have a top lid like most tool boxes. Some might like a top lid, but I put mine under a credenza that fit perfectly.
The following two pics are old pics (this topic comes up every few months, but I like it. :
2" - 3" drawers work best for me.
The 2" drawers are great for lying blades flat or for standing smaller knives up in a rack. The 3" drawers are a bit of a waste if lying blades on their sides, but are good for standing larger knives vertical in a rack.
For the most part, 2" drawers do most for me.
This picture shows a 2" drawer with some larger knives flat and smaller knives vertical in a small wooden rack I made on the table saw:
My cabinet size is 26" wide x 16" deep. The drawers are about 22.25" wide x 14.25".
Most small knives will stand up in the 2" drawers.
Larger knives with larger guards will mostly stand upright in the 3" drawers.
Large Double-Quillion knives tend to have to lay flat.
My Battle Rat sized blades just barely fit front to back.
Anything longer like a FFBM or DogFather needs to go side to side in the drawers I have.
