Vintage Store Knife Display Boards

Post by Miller Bro's »

I like to find original store knife display boards.
Brings back good memories of my youth when you could walk into the corner convenience store and buy a pocket knife cheap!

If you have any show them here ::tu::

Here is this one. I bought it off an old-timer who still runs his little tackle shop, old fella is 94 years old and still opening up shop. I have known him for a long time. I bought it because I know someday, he will not open, and this old dude would have likely ended up in a dumpster. I told him I was going to buy it and he looked at me kinda weird and said "what do you want that old thing for?" Now I just gotta figure out what to do with it :roll:

oh boy. It did come with four knives and three sheaths. So, I could be partway there. And although a Vic is my EDC, honestly, I carry it for the toothpick, I am not a huge SAK superfan. I am carrying a nice Moore Maker also that I received from Cody6268 in the POS swap-meet.
