A collection brings you enjoyment, clutter is a source of stress-
I think it’s the mindframe of the owner that’s more of an issue.
What if it brings you enjoyment but also stress over misplacing them all the time?
Why, you lash them to your belt sir.
You must not have seen this. This about half of them.

Depending, of course, but often it is a collection to you, and clutter to your significant other.

That is a good point.

Now what are some suggestions as how to make a collection more organized and neat and less clutter? Put it within containers that can be stacked?

If you have a smaller collection like me. This works well, and makes it easier to decide what to carry each day. Not my current, up to date collection.

When does a collection become clutter?

When you run out of room.....Then it begs the question- is the issue the collection or is simply more room needed? :)
Warhammer 40000 is- basically- Lord Of The Rings on a cocktail of every drug known to man and genuine lunar dust, stuck in a blender with Alien, Mechwarrior, Dune, Starship Troopers, Fahrenheit 451 and Star Wars, bathed in blood, turned up to eleventy billion, set on fire, and catapulted off into space screaming "WAAAGH!" and waving a chainsaw sword- without the happy ending.

You know you can use nail polish remover on those fugly logos? I did so successfully on both my 10-tier Böker stands :)

Thanks for the heads up Larry! I'll give that a shot tonight. It has always bothered me a bit...considering I don't own a single Boker knife haha.

I felt my collection was becoming too big and turning to clutter sitting in drawers.
I got the knives out of the drawers and onto this M.O.L.L.E. panel on a closet door.
I'm enjoying the collection a whole lot more now.
