That is one cool display Johnnie, pretty ingenious...What are you using to hold the knives in place?

Who's the maker of the knife to the left of that spectacular

candy stripe toothpick??

Thanks guys....

I am using what they call elastic beading thread,it works really well.

The knife to the left of the candy stripe is a Boker Double Tree Congress.

PS,that candy stripe is one of my favorites now!!

Really good idea! Thanks for sharing, I always enjoy seeing pics of how you other guys display your blades.

Cool display. But how come there are no 'cigar' shaped folders in there?

Just kidding.

The cigar shop down the street unloads wooden boxes every so often. I might have to pick one or two up. The cigar boxes I have now are filled with reloading dies.

good idea on the display case. i like it.

My local cigar shop leaves empty boxes by the front door free for the taking. Sometimes they charge a dollar of two for the fancy wood boxes.

Nice, good idea, I have lots of cigar boxes but I've used them for storage, not display.
