Nicely done. I'd like to see some better pictures of your knives. British and Commonwealth knives are a special interest of mine.

The Camillus and Schatt & Morgan are probably my favorites in the 6353/1905 family. Fit and finish are equal to or better than the best of the British knives and the bone scales are certainly much more attractive than the checkered horn.

Sure! Why not? Here is a thread for other collections other than knives. Feel free to show us your jackets or whatever else you enjoy collecting. viewtopic.php?f=21&t=63250

And If you have things you don't really "collect" but still wish to share, you can use this thread. viewtopic.php?f=21&t=23880&start=6540

Check the spike on your Wade & Butcher for a C/|\. W&B had a big contract with Canada for knives during WWI.

Well done display. Nice to have the easy accessibility to them as well from the display case.

Great looking display case. You inspired me to make my own but then got looking at cases and had a thought. I can repurpose grandma's spoon rack with the glass door to suit my needs. Lots of adjustability. Did a little adjust on the spacing, reworked some paperclips to suit, and voila. Instant rack. I look forward to filling it up now. If only the blades were as easy to find as spoon racks are....

Well done.i like the three canadian 6353 pattern knives im still yet to find one at the right price.ive since made two more displays seems better than keeping them in rolls.hopefully lockdown will come to a end and i can get back out and get more.good luck and enjoy filling your new display.
