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. |
