Chained SS Display Case

[Larry Lipps]

Well, I finally bugged Skipper enough that he came up with the case I'd been waiting for. I've always wanted a way to show a few other items along with the dagger and he came through. I've removed the glass to cut down on the glare in the photos, but I'm sure you guys will get the idea. Anyway, I'm a happy camper.

And the reverse.

Hello
These are nice cases, but I would be concerned with wood touching the metal. There is always the risk of moisture in the wood and that wood damage the area of the metal parts. If the case could be modified to have a clear piece of plexiglas to subistute for the wooden piece to hold the piecs, I think that wood be better and it would also give a clear unobstructed view of the blade.
Please do not misinterpret this as putting the case down, it just would be my preference. Ron

Thanks for the replies. I guess I should point out, to soothe the concerns of the purists, that the wood does not touch the dagger at all. The wood where the blade and scabbard pass through is lacquered, then felt lined. I've found that humidity controlled storage does a better job of preservation than worrying about using exotic materials in case construction.

I guess it is more of a personal preference then. For me, eliminating any chance of moisture collecting material would take priority. That said, I do have some felt in my dagger drawers but the blades rest on small plexiglas points so they have space between the blade and felt. Also, for the folks reading, I am not complaining about the case or beauty. They are quality furniture grade pieces. As long as you are comfortable with it, is all that counts. Ron

Larry - lovely display and thanks for sharing.
Have you thought of a laser engraving or etching at the side just to personalise the display?

Lovely Dagger...Careful of wood contacting the Bare metal Blade...Even though its sealed just doesn't seem like a Great long term storage idea.
