Hi! This is DaQotah.

A guy who owns an import store here in town learned I just finished making a knife and sheath, and gave me a call.

I showed him my knife and he's eager to put it in his display window, but I just can't lay the knife down on the floor. I have to design some sort of little display.

I need some type of display, say, with a footprint the size of a dinner plate with some sort of way to position the knife above the sheath, for viewing. Has anyone ever made anything like this? (Something portable that could fit on top of a table).

If anybody knows of a website that has a knife displayed the way I've just described, could you please tell me about it?

Thanks!
 
LOL..DaQo'tah imagination can be very disturbingly unreliable but, well,,okay,,,that will be my "Plan-B"

But I just got to believe that some of the members of the Blade Forum that make knives as a profession have had to make little displays for sitting on top of a table?
 
ahh,,,now thats not a bad idea

I could cut off a few of the tines,,,mount them to some type of a ,,,thing...perhaps...

yes, I will look into this!
 
DaQo'tah....... A very simple yet eye-catching display can be made from a small tree stump. Take a section of stump (as you say about the diameter of a dinner plate), and about 1 to 1 1/2 feet tall with the bark still on it. Cut one or two "steps" into it. Lay the sheath on the lower step and place the knife on the top step with the tip sticking into it and the handle leaning back against the "riser".
You can either cut a small notch to hold the butt or use putty to hold it at whatever angle you like.
This is really impressive if you use Birch bark wood with the bark still on as the contrast between the light wood and a dark sheath and knife handle just leaps out at the viewer.
