Storage & Display for Knives:

Knives can be absolutely beautiful things and I don't care how PC you are.   Arguably knife making is mankind's first art.  A lad's first pocket knife is some kind of rite of passage.  (I lost mine in about a week.)  One of the few lessons that life has had to teach me only once, (or not many times more then once), is to always use a sharp knife because a dull one is the one that will cut you, -never mind doing a sloppy job.

Most knives are smallish things -unless they are large things -and then they are swords aren't they?  In any case, a nice drawer case is a great way to store your knives. 

Check out one of my finished  Drawer Cases This one is called a Multi-Depth -this means that the top drawers are shallow and bottom drawers are deeper.  A handy thing.

 

I have a line of Presentation Boxes that you could use as a display case for a single special knife.  They were originally designed for  knife makers to deliver custom knives that might run $2000 or more. (Yup -I know one knife maker that will spend a month or so making a knife and regularly gets this much and more.)

 

 

For your best knives, consider putting a few of them in a display case -and if they are especially valuable or you have wee ones about the house, I make a display case that locks too.

 

How-To for Knives:

Beautiful things, knives.  So beautiful that they deserve a special display.  With one of my cases -or one of your own- here is how to Display A Knife Collection

Finally, given the size of knives, (and given their simple beauty and appeal), they may deserve a lined drawer -and it's easy to do!  Have a look at my How-To article -French Lining Drawers.
