I was counting on you fellas to stop me, but as I can see, and not egg me on!
The idea of containing cutlery in something that helps preserve them appeals to me. What about skin tight containment inside clear Lucite that hardens around the target. Has anyone tried that? The knife and the container become one. Like a paperweight. You won't be getting your cast-in-plastic knife back easily and you best wipe off all fingerprints before you pour the casting mix or you're going to be eyeballing your prints for a very long time...
Glass and knives: You are right about the bottle for the 124 Frontiersman needing to be real big. I have several industrial large economy sized jars but none capable of holding the 124 with the lid on. I looked around Target a few weeks back but didn't really like whole idea. I went as far as cutting out a paper Frontiersman to test the fitment.

My gal runs around vaccum sealing everything in sight....
so.....
How about Vaccum Sealed Bucks
No dust possible....shoot... no air even
Heck, it would even be scratch protection!
The only problem is if you seal up all your knives, you won't have one to cut the packages open....hahahaha

I don't even hear a whisper from a voice of restraint on this forum.
You know... the resin might be an option for a set of pins! Something not all that expensive and already for show and not cutting work. Maybe put a few hat pins into a paperweight thing. I'm not that clever but I know you are double Dutch capable of this kind of object d art work, you know who you are.
That's one of those countertop gizmos that comes with a clear chamber for quick marinade I think Chris. I do teriyaki baked tofu, kinda like jerky when its done. I haven't tried vacuum sealing anything yet, however.

Yep we have a few of those accessories, and use them.
My gal seals up everything! Leftovers, extra cooked chicken, veggies from the garden, salsa, pasta sauce, etc etc etc.... the freezer is full to the brim....lol
Just remember to freeze liquids in a container BEFORE vaccum sealing them
It might actually be a good way to store knives long term. No air = no oxidation.

You are a genius. A terrific new use for an existing product. Drop a small packet of desiccant, condition the knife/firearm with toughglide, vacuum seal and place into the vault/safe. Miller time. Brilliant. Might smooch the box a bit so store the box and paperwork separately I suppose. Call it TOOL IMMORTALITY or something clever and sell it to guys. You have a million $ mind. WTG

Hahaha, thank you
So..... a thought on melting a glass bottle closed with a knife inside.
I have been a glass worker for nearly 20 years.
I work with borosilicate glass (pyrex), but bottle glass is similar enough.
At a melting point of around 650°F, getting the end of the bottle hot enough to melt will cause the air inside the bottle to get very hot (likely much hotter than the glass) as well.
Hot enough to discolor brass, and likely hot enough to burn or at least scald wood.
Once I was asked if I could seal a shark tooth inside a small bottle, and sure enough, it burned the tooth to a crisp.
Also, bottle glass needs to be cooled slowly, so you would have to use a kiln (bad for knives) or at least bury it in vermiculite (which would end up distributing the heat throughout the bottle, and once again bad for the knife)
The safest idea.for a buck in a bottle would be to use a cork.
Now, on the idea of bottle selection, some of those jars with the lid on a hinge and a wire clasp, might be awesome.
I see them all the time when browsing the local thrift shops.

I found one in the kitchen for an example.... this particular one is 8 1/2 inches tall.
Airtight, so no dust inside, and easy open for knife holding fun
I asked my gal, and she said we found it at a garage sale for 50 cents.
