I recently shared this on Bladeforums, but forgot that the most appreciated place for it may be here on the Cold Steel forum section.
Anyhow, I took advantage of an online vendor's closeout deal on these three discontinued Chaos series knives for a display idea I had.
It truly was a great deal, and the project turned out every bit as nice as I had hoped it would be :)

Very cool.

Where did you find that display box?

Found the shadow box at Michaels craft store :)
I did have to mount stronger hanging hardware on the back of it to make sure it could handle the heavy load of the three knives. That's why you see the two bolt heads, (on the top left and right side), in the display case' interior. I could have masked them with some cloth material, but did not find the bolt heads offensive enough to do so.

Excellent you just need a glass breaker with it in case of Zombies and such.

Yeah, the rear loading displays make it harder to access the tools in a Zombie Apocalypse situation, (and harder to do the occasional maintenance thing on them). Michaels has gone more and more to the rear loaders, although Hobby Lobby still offers a good selection of front loading displays.
The following display, (a front loader), was had at Hobby Lobby...

Thanks! It's one of only two Knuckles I have that are American made, my other specimens having been made off-shore.
Here's my other US made Knuckles residing in another display case...


I think I'll eventually get the Chaos Dagger and new Chaos Bowie knives and add them into the collection as well. I believe the Chaos Dagger may have been, (thus far), Cold Steel' most solid seller out of the series. The new Chaos Bowie may or may not wind up being a good seller, but even if it's not, one in the collection would be cool to have. The Chaos Stiletto may have been their poorest seller in the series, and I say that because of how fast it went into being discontinued . It definitely is intended as a one purpose use tool, (as far as dedicated function goes), but it's a very solidly made product, and it works great as a cool & unique conversation piece! :)

Divorced 13 years ago, and my lady friends don't seem to mind my eclectic decor :)
I mean, the displays are found throughout my domain, but I believe my way of displaying them is tastefully enough done, that it helps in how visitors see them.


I had ordered the above display from an online source to house my Cold Steel 1917 Cutlass. For me, it just wouldn't have been the same thing to just have placed the sword up on the wall with a simple hook or two. It not only helps in it's presentation within my decor, it also does a great job of protecting it from dust and such :)
