knife wooden cases

Post by buddyie22 »

I just purchased 10 wooden cases for knife displays. I wanted to color code them according to the manufactures color code for their knives. They would be Case,Buck,Camillus,Imperial etc. Any ideas where I could find those colors or if even they exist?

Display cases? Or wooden cases for storage of individual knives?

I’ve never heard of color codes for manufacturers… so I’ll be watching this thread with interest to see what others know/share.

Post some pics of the wooden cases when you have a moment… I’m curious to see what you are speaking of

No need.
There are apps you can get that identify the official Pantone colour of physical materials (such as Pantone Connect), which you can then use to get colour-matched paints, woodstains and so on.

Just a quick note: these are wine boxes with the wine maker's name burned into the boxes. pretty classy. I want to put different knives bucks,Imperal, case etc, in the boxes, I have been collecting and not much organizing. The color coding would help to identify what was in the box at a glance. So painting the case would be an option. I'll line them with black material also. Just some thoughts. Thanks for any suggestion you might have.

Like Jim, I've never heard of any company having a color code for any type of ID. ::shrug::

What if you printed on regular paper a picture of each knife brand
and glue it on the top of each box?

Thanks guys for your input... Unable to find any info on my little project. As suggested I may stencil the names of the manufacture and put them on the cases. Thanks again for the input.

Don’t know if this helps, but I’ve made wood boxes with sliding plexiglass lids before, so I can look right in there and see the continents. Gave my sister one that she puts her recipe cards in.

Sounds like a cool idea to me, Buddy!
