Members Rawhide Posted February 17, 2008 Members Report Posted February 17, 2008 I stole this idea from Peter Main and made myself a box to carry my swivel knives in. It's parts are a cigar box from Joann fabric, a few layers of foam (I took a throw-able flotation cushion from wal-mart and cut it open to get the foam out), some rare earth magnets, and some velvet. Here are a couple of pictures. I haven't finished it yet, but I will probably antique it. Marlon Quote Marlon

Members Rawhide Posted February 17, 2008 Author Members Report Posted February 17, 2008 Thanks Tina. Again, I can't take credit for the idea. That was Peter Main's. Marlon Quote Marlon
Ambassador leatheroo Posted February 17, 2008 Ambassador Report Posted February 17, 2008 love the carving, but i love the swivel knives even more!! where did you get the ones with the brown handles? Quote "]http://leatheroo.blogspot
TomSwede Posted February 17, 2008 Report Posted February 17, 2008 That is an truly beautiful knife box! If I were to dye that I think I'd paint black dye onto the backgrounding, a layer of sealer and then antique it. I think, that is. It was the first thing I thought of when I saw it and I usually go with the first instinct. Whatever the final result is gonna be I know it'll be good, I've seen your stuff before. Great job!
