This is most of them >>>



I just reread your post...  OOPS!  I don't display them at all other than occasionally to carry one on my belt...  I had to round them up from various places for the photo...

Yes it's a Golok but not a Martindale...  

As far as I can tell it is identical to this (including the numbers on the starboard side) >>>

Not display really, but machinists chests have short drawers that are great for storing knives. Search e-bay for Gerstner, you can sometimes find decent deals –– lots of different sizes available:

Skip the Gerstner International series and hold out for a good buy on a USA made one. I've bought small, 7-drawer chests as cheap as $100. Union also made a good box. Again, ebay is a good place to look. Search for Gerstner or machinist chest. Be patient. You'll watch for a few weeks and everything will go high. Suddenly, everybody is asleep at the switch and there will be some deals.

Something like this?


This is a cheapo bookcase, I switched out the back piece with some pegboard and covered it in felt.

I have that same Bianchi Nighthawk survival knife! I love that thing! I actually did a table top review of it on youtube.

Check out a smoke shop. They generally have some pretty cool cigar boxes that make great displays for knives.

I don't have a use for displays because stuff is in specific places but the idea of an old bookcase or a cabinet with added felt backing on some good peg or hardboard is a good idea. Especially if you have good glass and a lock.  This should be used for something that you no longer want to actually use.

Most of my knives are expensive collectibles.  So I keep them in a nylon knife soft case in my safe.   But my EDC knives I keep in my drawer.   I am not a fan of displaying knives or guns in my home.

The reasons are most people that ocme over would be like  WTF>?
I have young kids that could get into them and hurt themselves or damage the knives.
I also don't want someone to see themm and steal them or tell someone about them and have them want to steal them.

I keep mine in a couple dresser drawers, but I do drag them out from time to time for sheath maintenance and oiling.

I'll post pics, just because.

Smaller fixed blades:


Swiss Army knives and multi-tools:

Inspired by this thread I gathered all my stuff up and made an EDC drawer.

The one beside it is full of flashlights and holsters/sheaths

Excuse the cell phone pic, these days I'm just too lazy to manually uplpad from a camera to photobucket

Look for Riker mounts, also called butterfly mounts or cases.  Check out Collector's House Co.- chdisplay.com.  They also have glass topped 22"x34"x3" aluminum cases with locks.
