Don't display in reach of kids
I retired from the Marine Corps 10 years ago, and for that long I've been planning to build a display stand for the Ka-Bar I carried for almost 20 years. I finally broke down and purchased one, and this one is exactly what I would have made myself if I had gotten around to it. It displays both the knife and the scabbard, you can see the wearing on the leather and the blade to know it's not a new knife, and it matches other wood plaques I have on my wall.<br /><br />But if you have kids, hang it high. The point and the edge of the knife are exposed and it can easily be removed from the display, and I always kept my knife sharp. Even though there aren't any kids in my home I hung it high on my wall where I'm able to reach it but it's not easy for any visitors to run their fingers over it and possibly cut themselves.
