Found this Keen Kutter store display at a Antique shop. It appears to be complete with glass and working turntable. Does anyone know how the knives were connected to the brackets ? The top has a hand written knife list with 1976 date.

Maybe open the knife and hang it upside down?

That is really cool. How tall is it and how many knives do you estimate it would hold?

Yes that is actually a Schrade display case, from when Schrade made the Keen Kutter marked knives. They were Schrade patterns, often made with the regular Schrade Walden tang stamps but with the Keen Kutter blade etch.
