Display Cabinet, Free Standing, Tempered Glass & Black Metal Frame

Thank you four kind words.

I haven't injured it and I am happier with it every time I look at it. I'm very slow stocking it. I've added a letter from Evil Eye Earl, via magnets, to the second tier from the top (the top tier letter is from ITE).

There is a strap, attached via a screw, on the back of the top rear cross bar in order to attach the case to the wall for safety. When I finalize the case's exact location I will probably connect the top of the case to the wall: Grandchildren, quake and loose animals running in the house.
 
Thank you for the kind words. My pleasure.

The door closes to a magnet, top left, where there is also a fingerpull (in addition to the knob mid-center of door where the key fits) to help open the door. I open the door, one-handed, with the knob located mid-door without issue.
 
Here is the big box membership store's cabinet display, Pulaski Kensington Display Cabinet, that stole my lovely wife's heart for your amusement. The shelves are adjustable and they are thick glass, mirrored back, door slide smoothly left or right opening the interior 1/2 either way, and the dark finish on the wood was worn off in a few tiny places on the outside of the cabinet (probably typical of the rough life of a store display but detracted from the interior richness). Item #711992. Four clams.

I figure this piece of furniture heavier than fat Albert and it kind of makes me think that it would detract from its contents because it is a little imposing, unlike the glass fantastic I did buy which IMHO minimizes itself and puts the focus on the contents. I want to read and re-read your letter while I ogle the fantastic orange selector on its own shelf and not be put off by the grandiose furniture. That being said, I like it, cost aside, and if my terrific wife likes it then that adds value to our relationship. She thinks I need it. I wonder if she thinks she needs... :)
 
The one you have in your home looks good... so does your home... :thumbup: ... :thumbup: ... :thumbup: ...
Did you find some blades for your selector... I'm glad you like it... :)
I like all your 106's ... very nice... :thumbup:
 
I have a full set of selector blades, I'm pretty sure but I need to check, with most of those still in the little blister pack from back in the D.A.Y. and a few users.

I have rags and a tube of metal polish on the coffee table in the pic above. You can take the billy out of the hills but not the hills out of the, well you already know. There is a orange shop vac, for the fireplace out of the shot. It is a cool vintage home from the seventies and head and shoulders from the last home, read glorified chicken coop that unless I ducked I would hit my head on the door sills, but that one had a manageable yard with great fruit trees, berries and such @ 1/2 acre vs this place with 5 acres of mostly forest.

The vintage rendering axes deserve favor they are so terrific. I really like the Micarta because it is man-made. I gotta work at preserving the sheaths so that is something on the to do list. I'd like to think that the next owner will get something at least as good as I got. I promise not to die with any cutlery to my name. I see this hobby like a relay race where the baton/knife belongs to the team and not the runner.

The cabinet I did buy has charmed me. I'll have to improve myself to deserve it but it does the job. I need the other two in order to give the cutlery elbow room. Yup. I do. :)
 
Why attach the display to the wall you ask?

A very good reason to attach the display cabinet securely to the wall, rough and tumble action, even by your best friend, can knock over furniture (does this on-the-ready-line fellow look like he would sit quietly once indoors?):
