Looks really good. Excellent way to display. Sounds like my wife... probably most wives.

Very nice. Did you make it yourself? Where are you located? Maybe start selling them.

Not the case just the inners, I am a joiner cabinet maker by trade I could make really nice ones but I never seem to have time and being in England I think all my customers would be in the US ha ha

It’s just finding a niche I suppose

I really like the vintage knives. So, let me know if you come across a fulcrum release that you can live without.

Being in England shouldn't be a stumbling block. Attached are 2 photos of a 6 drawer antique case I bought thru eBay from a person in England. Got it shipped here with no issues. I modified and lined the inside of the drawers to accommodate some of my knives. Each drawer will hold 7 knives. This case houses 20 Rizzies with room for more. I have also used old cigar boxes that have glass tops. But these are very difficult to come by.

Mr. Lucentcrow,
Great looking display box. Keep up the collecting and you might end up with more knives than you have wood chisels! :mrgreen:
