Wall hanger is a wall hanger, if you like the way it looks then by all means you have done what you set out to do. Absolutely nothing wrong with that.
I think what most of the guys are saying is that if you ever want working/using knives these aren't the ones to get. I don't think anyone here is out to bust your chops, just most of us approach cutlery as a working tool, not something to hang on the wall. Although many of the ones you will see posted here are a might to purty to carry in the woods, they are still function first creations........just the way we're wired.

Do hope you are satisfied with your acquisition and they serve you well. I have used several of the products mentioned above to preserve a finish. Find one you can apply easily with the least amount of effort and mess and stick with it. Just remember heavy oil based products and veggie oils will attract and hold dust.

Hope you will continue to visit this site and the KNF in general. Post pics of your wall mount if you get a chance.
