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 :mrgreen: 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!! ::tu::

Cool display. But how come there are no 'cigar' shaped folders in there? :o Just kidding. :mrgreen:

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.
