    How about a double door? Maybe even put some glass in it to further define it as different than the rest of the kitchen.

    Or dress up the interior enough to have open shelves with no door.

    I've never once used a honing stone after the tormek. Just the leather wheel to buff out the edge. Gets things sharp enough for me.

    I've used my Excaliber for years and love it.

    Removing/installing isn't really a big deal, though I do try to group rips and crosscuts together.
