Looks awesome my friend. Like the old Remington ammo display also in addition to all the knives, catalogs, boxes, etc.

Keith, were you lucky to have the built-in niche already available or did you have to do some carpentry work? It looks perfectly sized for the cases you put into it.

That was exactly how it was. I couldn't believe how perfectly they fit.

Lmaooooo. Got yourself some jokes. I know the last one wasn't very impressed with the collection.
Keith,
Big oops on my part, wasn’t aware of the break-up.
I also got divorced because of my collecting issues. Fortunately I got to keep everything as well. The new wife is also a collector, so we have a healthy co-dependency, becoming pickers for each other. 10 years now without a single disagreement.
She had me agree to a 30-year contract, but she has yet to put anything in writing.

Congrats Keith - looks great! You have an eye for arranging your collection to make displays look balanced and attractive. ::tu:: Not one of my talents.

Thanks Brad, Ken. I really enjoy the displaying part of collecting. I think one corner of the room is finished.

Coming together nicely my friend. Have you decided where to put the TV, recliner and fridge full of beer yet?

No TV, I have knives to look at, no recliner as I'm always walking looking at the knives, I definitely have a special spot for the beer fridge, it was the first item to find its spot in the room.

Wow, great. Something to aspire to, your passion for collection definitely shows. Love the hardware store upright displays, glass counter, and advertising pieces especially. I've never seen or handled the bullet knives those things are massive I would love to find that exact display/knives at some point in life.

Keith can I ask how long you've been at it? That is quite the collection. I just have a few dozen knives in different areas of my small place at the moment. One day...

At it with focus for about 8 years. Not very long.
