Hi Staffan and JG. Some good ideas.

I was thinking of some sort of wall hanging method. Perhaps using some felt on a board, the board attached to the wall and the knives and other assorted stuff hung from the board. If it all changes, just remove the board, re-felt and start again. Methods of hanging? Perhaps small nails or tacks, perhaps with thin wire?

I do like both the idea of a glass cabinet and a glass topped table/coffee table. Good as it might stop small hands from getting to them if lockable. Also dust etc. Also better in keeping humidity down, using some moisture capture type blocks or beads.

One idea would be to combine the two ideas, and use a cabinet with a "shelf" section. I have one of those old cabinets with an "accountants" sloped desk on it. Something custom made like that would work really well. Glass doors on the upper part of the cabinet with shelves and hanging space. A sloping glass topped lid to the storage space under the sloped glass to hang other display items. Instead of four legs under the desk like the antique original, instead perhaps a chest of drawers.

Two problems:
1. Will cost a bit putting the project back considerably in timing.
2. Where to put it, find space, in my already over crowded house???

Thanks for the ideas.
