This is a great NEW PRODUCT.

I was asked by two different clients, about a simple box in which to store knives in a safe. I'd had this in mind .... not the Safe Part .... the box part. I told each I'd make them a milled box. Here's one of them. The other isn't complete.

Enjoy!

Gary

I'll regret this: disclosure.... that knife doesn't fit that box. It's own box isn't quite finished. This Box is a whisker small inside. It's for the slightly smaller 97.

Then why didn't you use the proper knife?. "It's not assembled. It's an assemblage of finished parts ...."

Then why didn't you make the box fo........... "Just look at the pictures .......

BTW .... The boxes are milled from solid 2" plank.

Slitting saw to make the channels for the lid?

Lon

Sweet! That is a nice looking box.

Keith

BTW ..... Here is the actual box for that knife. Needs a lid, etc.

Hi Lon, Kinda. It's a specially reground and specially sharpened mill cutter for the task. They never make what I think I need - and if they do its not sharp when you get it - or it binds, burns, etc. So, I either repurpose them or make one from scratch.

Glad you like it Keith! Thanks.

It's a great looking box you just forgot to subtract for the felt lining . Hehe what kind of wood is it ? It has great rich brown color to it !

Thanks
Kurt

Hi Kurt,

The finished one is Walnut. The unfinished milled one is Mahogany. Looks pale here. It will look rich when complete.

Thanks!

Gary

Kurt ....

Knives go in velvet bag.

Can't hide the WOOD dude .... Haha.

Hi Gary (and all),
I've been very busy. It will be awhile before everything is caught up. I was just about on an even keel, when kerplunk, things kind of unraveled here again. On top of everything the day after the storm hit my bank accounts were hacked. I have about got it sorted out, and even though we were lucky there has been a great deal of work to do. I have been watching the forum but have been to tired to respond. Those boxes are beautiful though and I had to! I'll be back again once I beat this smack down. You all have a great weekend!
Later,
Jeff

Well Jeff,

When you are face down in the mud ... Look for that last kick in the teeth.

That's a lousy shame. Sorry you had to deal with that.

Thanks for stopping by here, and commenting.

Gary

Jeff
Very sorry to hear bout your bank account issues . It's so common now a days . I think my mother had hers attacked twice and it was a ton of work getting back to normal and straightening out .
Hope you get past it quickly .

Thanks
Kurt

Very nice Gary! The engraving on the lid is a really nice touch. When you mentioned you were making boxes for a few knives I did not imagine something so elegant.

Gary:

Very nice. Looks to me like something every knife owner would want.

Karl

I have been making some and laying the parts back. I'll show them as I can. The difference in appearance valve between raw wood and finished .... Is about 95% of $$$. If I show them now ..., it would be a bust, I fear.

Glad you like the idea Karl! I'll put you down for a few, and some more knives ..., and boxes for those too? Stop me if I'm wrong here .... Haha.

Gary

Yes I have/am!

Guy in the back always says ..... SURE you are ....no pic huh ...., sure ....

Here ya go Bunkie!
Haha

Gary

Simple, but elegant.

Adds appeal as a gift being able to present a Barnes knife, with the Barnes wood box.

Engraved top cover is a nice touch.
