A room! You have your own room?
Actually it has been a long and delicate series of high level detante and negotiation that has allowed me to slowly spead my collection around the common spaces of my home and in general my wife has been very good about it. But i would actually prefer to have my own room for my collection since sometimes sharp and pointy delicate antique objects are not so good to have around during a party or when your friends want to bring their small children over.
Erik, i wasn't questioning the care of you blades as i am sure you keep them in very good order indeed. My own personal obsession, however, requires that i handle each and every blade at least every few weeks so i tend to keep them all at ground level reach.
