COFFIN style knife boxes ... Where to find?

[Mark W Douglas]

Years ago, back in 92 if my memory recalls correctly, in Knife World Publication there was an ad from a maker of wooden boxes that he made to look exactly like modern day caskets/coffins for a single knife to be displayed. L@@ked exactly like one on the outside as well as the inside and had a glass top so the knife could be viewed as it was laying to rest.

I do recall he was located in Northeast Ohio somewhere, but I don't know his name or the city? Does anyone know this guy I'm talking about or know of another maker who does this kind of work as I described?

TIA,
Mark

Good Luck!

Welp, I tried that number and the area code is now 440 and it is a consulting firm now.

Rats, oh well, I loose!

I make some displays for knives and may be able to make what you're after. Take a look at my web site, and/or e-mail me.

I haven't made any coffin shapes but I make cremation urns for a living, does that count.
