All About Pocket Knives

Just finished up this project. I got tired of digging through cigar boxes to look at my knives, so I made this display to mount on the wall. It's cherry wood. Clear finish. No stain. I like cherry; it should darken with age.

That is some excellent craftsmanship there in that cabinet . Really like the cherry with no finish.

Wow, that turned out great. Cherry is one of my favorites for woodturning.

Awesome!

Looks great!! Very nice!!

I like how you can adjust the height of each shelf to accommodate different size knives. Brilliant!

Very nice carpentry! If fact, the only problem that I can see with that case is ( drum roll ) that it appears to be completely full and you'll have to get busy and make another one.

Great display

Great stuff! If I only had the time...

Well done!

Nice Job

It looks like a lot of thought went into making the display case.
Excellent workmanship!

That looks GREAT, Tom!

It’s hanging on the wrong wall for sure!

Beautiful

All the praise for this fine work is well deserved, Tom.

Niiiice!

Great work, Tom! But, it's gonna' need to be a LOT bigger!

Thanks for all the compliments, guys. I thought about making another one. There's another wall spot on the other side of the window. I have a few more knives that didn't fit in this one. But then I came to my senses. It's a lot of work! And just having the one display might keep my collection to a manageable size.

I think you built a fine prototype for a whole-wall made up of multiple modules. I could imagine 30” of wainscoting and then 2-3 modules high for the width of the wall - that would hold a lot of knives all easily accessible- what a concept!

Great idea, Tom. I'll get right on it. Should be done in a day or two. Send me a couple hundred knives so it doesn't look too empty.

Great looking display! Nice job!

Just have to say,That Is Class. Out of envy, Give yourself a compliment from me.

Excellent design and completion, headed out to the workshop right now to see if I have enough walnut to do one to house my dad's collection.
