I'd like to see your Spyderco folder collection storage options seeing as mine is getting to a point of requiring something more substantial and secure.
Need some ideas, what have you got? With a Spyderco bias preferably.

I'll be watching this thread as I have the same problem!
I'd love to find some type of safe and secure way to store my Spydercos, while keeping them on display.

Thank you. I've got some more of the new Spyderco's I want to add then I think I'll start collecting some vintage grails I've had my eye on.

Bill's custom cases might be an option.

Those look nice.
I think I'm going to pick up a machinists chest and do some customizing. Not really a display but more secure.
 
I tried shadow boxes and having them hanging in them all pretty but it necessitates a specific spot hanging in the shadow box for each knife, and sicne making the shadow boxes I haved added some 4 knives (the past 4 or 5 months), and I don't think I like it. I rotate too many in and out of EDC regularly, and with a small-medium folder in the back left pocket and a medium-large in the front right, they see lots of use. i basically just want a table I can lay them all out on in a row and choose from them every morning or whenever I want, yet also be able to look at them easily.
 
I will get a picture later, but I went all function with mine. I confiscated a drawer in the kitchen for "my stuff." I bought a thin cutting board and cut it up to make dividers, and have it setup to hold ~20 knives. The rest of the drawer was already divided up with wood pieces and I put lots of stuff in there. My wife only goes in there to use a knife, which I actually like it when she does, and find it interesting to see which one she uses. I can always tell because I arrange them all a certain way and she always puts them back wrong. I can find no rhyme or reason to her selection, totally random:confused: My sister was over last week and used a knife, and I think she chose the smallest non-threatening looking one. It was a Meerkat and when I came back later it was in the window seal still opened:D For transporting I use my business bag, and can bring about ten. It has two pockets that are about the perfect depth and I clip them in the pocket. Enough variety for any trip.
 
Some more good ideas, thank you.
Looking forward to some pictures.

Currently I'm bidding on a nice wooden machinists chest that will do the trick I think. Plenty of storage for knives, parts and related tools. Keeping my fingers crossed.
 
I'm trying to keep my collection to 30 knives, so I bought the large Spyderpac..
But it has been only 2 months of purchase's, so I'll see if I can resist on buying more ...

I have children in the house and I decide to keep them under lock and key in my Snap-on tool box for longer term storage..

Nice!
I attempted keeping my collection at a manageable level but the temptation is too great, or maybe I'm too weak... :rolleyes: Whatever the case may be I just can't part with any of my Spydies. I tried once, even made up a list, but in the end I'm going to need more storage. :o

Very nice collections guys! Really digging that pimped Chokwe Barman1.

I like it as well but got bumped by the Putman Delica. If you look closely there is another Chokwe still in the plastic for a backup. Great knife!
 
Here is my confiscated kitchen drawer. I have a few more spots and some non Spyderco's can be kicked out to make room :D

 
Great idea with the dividers nccole I was wondering how you had that set up. :thumbup:

I lost the auction on the vintage chest at the last second. I think it went for close to 500 maybe. Too rich for what it was.
For security sake I picked up another large Spyderpac so I can keep everything in my safe. I did a Spydie head count and am pushing $6k right now. :eek:
I didn't think my habit was that much out of control!
 
I have an old electronics repair kit case that I'm going to convert to a knife collection box.

It's about 20x15x10.

Thinking of putting pouches in the lid (maybe 15-18 in the lid? not sure). Then I think I can probably fit 2-3 divider boxes that can hold maybe another 12-15 knives each.

Slap on a coat of black paint, paint trim in silver, and put a Spyderco logo decal on the top. It has a lock, handle and strap already.
