Just thought I'd share the display case I modified to show off my growing collection of Str8s. They are far to gorgeous to keep in a drawer.
It is a hinged display case from a local craft store meant to display bugs and stuff. Cost me less than $10.00.
I think it didn't take me long to fill it up.... I have a feeling I'll need a much bigger one by the time my RAD runs its course! SWMBO is just shakin' her head at me. She just doesn't understand.

Really nice.

I just got some little "closed eye hooks" and unbent them to suit and eyeballed them. Thats why they are unevenly spaced. I should have taken a little more time to get them hanging right (damn OCD...)

Good call! You'll love that catching your eye there on your wall. I have a decent knife collection I've been looking for the right case to display them in, myself.

very nice and the price can't be beat, you could easily do up a few more, slap an AOS sticker on them and charge $100+ for them on the bay too
