Knife stands.. is that what they are called? Where to get them?

[dnuggett]

I don't know what they are called, knife stands I guess. Where do you get those stands used to prop up knives for display or picture taking?

Knife stand-wise I"m not quite sure, but for picture taking you could, on the cheap, use some reasonably flexible poster board from Walmart. Push a table against a wall. Let part of the poster board lay against the wall and the other end weigh down on the ends. Basically you are making a curved L shape with the board against the wall and table. Point a few lamps around what you are displaying for even lighting. Depending on how the knife looks you may want to use white or black.

If you are thinking along the lines to simply display at home. I'm not quite sure. I may risk a guess of Hobby Lobby, Michaels or a hobby/craft store for glass front frames (with more depth to accommodate knives) and maybe using fishline to secure against the backboard before hanging on a wall or something (not on the edge obviously and only if you want that "invisible" look).

Edit: Alex found some good ones above.

The best ones I have found are sold by Northwest Knives and Collectibles. They are made of plexiglass. They have two sizes. I have some of both. They are well worth the money. I don't know how to post a link to their site, but you can Google it and find them. I am not associated with this company, just a satisfied customer.

Make some by yourself. I made one with no experience and only a bandsaw, a file and some wood stain.

Are these the type you are looking for??

The supplier I get my Fallknivens from threw a few in on an order. Unfortunately I don't know specifically where to get them, but you could try asking at where you purchase your knives.

The large and small stands is almost exactly what I was after! Thanks!
