Just got this, but it's likely not going to stay this way. I might add a second level to it as it is already pretty jammed. Cost me 6 bucks so I'm not too worried about messing with it. This is my almost complete collection... a few are still scattered about.

Neat tidy and very full

Yeahhhhhhh

Not much of a toss it in there sort of deal. Thinking of using natural, smallish logs to act as pillars and make another dump type bucket for the top for keys, phone, wallet, and other such daily things to keep everything together.

That's a handy tray.

What are the folders with bails down at the bottom of your picture?

I love stuff with bails.

Old US Demo knives from about 1948-1965. They're all a bit tattered, but cool nonetheless

Cool - Got any pics? I'd love to find a demo knife in a flea market in the UK - very rare.

I don't have a night stand...but I do have tool chests and cabinets that act sort of like my night stand.

You have more storage than all of us put together Chako

Heres a slightly staged picture of my tray in action with a couple of books

I approve of the choice of books

I have all of them

Thanks Smashie,

I was trying to match Magentus without climbing in to my loft

Very nice collection......of books! Have you started Snow Crash yet? I like a bit of Pratchett and King. What is the Lee Childs book? I've not heard of that one.

I really need some sort of tray like that.

So, I instantly realized that I had too much crap for the one tray I got. I just decided to make it a multilevel deal, which can easily have more added as time goes on.

Also, this is for magentus. This is my '48 Ulster Demo knife which is also the one in the best condition in my collection. Has very little snap left to it, but it's like carrying a little bit of history in your pocket, so I really don't mind that it doesn't function as well as it's swiss counterpart. Blade still takes a razor edge.

Cheers Higgins. I was going to ask how comparable they are to the Swiss SI - I mean yours doesn't look as old as it's years considering it's nearly 65! Is there enough snap to keep it as a user or is it not a safe bet any more?

Either way, thanks for showing it - They are lovely looking knives and I hear they are bombproof

Well, I do still use it! I don't know if others would think so but I like using it. I used the awl to make a bunch of holes in PVC for a project not that long ago.
