Excellent display Rev! ::tu:: I can't think of a better way to display your knives than under glass so they can still be seen, plus the dust is easier to manage. At $6./case with each case housing approximately 20 knives, I'd need about $75. worth of cases to hold my collection, which is a heck of a lot less expensive than what I've had access to so far. Good luck with your better half! ::fc:: ! 8)

Love these displays. Some really great looking stuff! The wood burning is very eye catching, David.

I have been on a mission to organize recently & one of the goals is to snag some things I’ve gathered to make a few displays.

Here’s the latest ... I think I’m going to adjust it a bit & open the blades slightly on the 3 closed knives. have a few more I’ll try to post soon :)

Well Reverand I would say you got a very good deal at the store and put it to very good use.
Those are some great scout knives and now they are wonderfully display. I understand the
comment about the wife all too well! Good luck. :lol:

Thank you Bryan for your comment on the wood burning. That is a very nice display case, very appropriate for the quality of knives in it..... ::tu::

Nice displays! I'm still cautiously optimistic that I'll find one that will work for me.

Appreciate the comments on the Tidioute display. Here is a Case display with sale bills & a catalog from when you could buy dozens for a pretty descent price ::uc::

Also features the only tested era knives I own. Wish I coulda bought a few in 1927, I'd have hundreds! :D

Wow. Those displays are pretty, and give give a lot of class! (Is it funny that I can recognize class, when I have been told I have none of my own?)

Anyway, I love the look. Keep 'em coming!

Appreciate the comments on the displays I've shared thus far :)

Here is a display of all the yearly AAPK knives to date. I was missing a couple at one point in time, but was able to get a complete collection together. Got one from the kindness of Ray Roe (Paladin here on AAPK) for which I am eternally grateful ::nod::

Great displays Ray, David, Reverand and Bryan! ::tu:: ::tu:: ::tu:: ::tu:: Ray, you sure have a lot of interesting old knives.
I have this one display. Has a sheet of 10 guage galvanized steel behind the cloth and the knives are held on by rare earth magnets.
I also have knives displayed on a shelf in my bookcase.

Please hold the laughter to a minimum. The 1st one is two knives I bought on our trip to Alaska a couple of years ago. The 2nd one is a African dagger my daughter bought me when she was on the mission field in Ethiopia. Probably a tourist knife but it has precious meaning to me. And lastly my attempt at wood burning with the CASE logo. Crude but it will do for me and I plan to mount some CASE toothpicks and peanuts on it. Included are some pic's of my new knife work area.

That is a very neat and well organized work area. ::tu:: You are turning out some very nice displays.

Thanks Bryan, but, I didn't actually make that one myself. It was gifted to me by Charlie Campagna some years ago. I have been planning to make a few more, but, haven't gotten around to it yet.
Great to see all of the AAPK knives displayed.

Danno50, that is a beautiful display. I'll bet that you wear sunglasses in your house if the sunlight ever hits all that gorgeous pearl!
