Blade Display/Transport Case System (Patented)
CASES
CLOSED – PORTFOLIO MODE
This product
was developed to serve three purposes…
One to display
collector knives in a number of various configurations…
Either on a
wall, table or any flat surface...
The other
purpose is to have the case fold in a particular way
to form what appears to be an artist’s portfolio
case…
Either to
transport the knife collection
and/or be utilized as a storage case…
***CENTER
CUSHION HOLDING KNIVES ARE REMOVEABLE
AND
INTERCHANGEABLE … ***
The following
will show and describe the product in detail.
First from the
materials utilized and system function:
The entire case
is made from two layers of leather
(Outside and
Inside)
The raised
center cushion holding the knives,
is
held to the leather background with industrial Velcro strips…
It is raised
from the surface to provide a three dimensional look…
***
In being constructed in this fashion,
the center cushion holding the knives can be easily
removed
And another
center cushion
with another set of knives can be displayed...
The knives are
held in place with individual sewn slots.
Accommodating the depth of any knife dimensions required
for each knife collection...
The wings (
flaps), in these
photos
can be folded back behind the rectangular center
piece.
This provides
various configurations with regard to design preference
and/or accommodate space constrictions
when displayed on a wall…
(The pearlized colored snaps are
in place as a decorative function.... )
Each wing, as
shown, is of a pyramid design…
When the case
is meant to convert to transport or storage mode
the middle wings come across
and are held together with a strip of industrial
Velcro.
The vertical
wings are folded over the middle wings...
The handle on each side are brought together and
are held in place with a wide strip of leather.
Edged with one
or two tassels.…
Kept closed
with either a combination lock,
swiveling lock mechanism or
two swiveling buttons…
Each of the
wings has two grommets.
The center
piece has three grommets.
The purpose of
the grommets is
to
have a means to attach any configuration to a wall.
Thought is
given to accommodate the depth of various knives
For
each knife collection…
Since many
collectors have more than 8-10 knives,
( Cases can be made smaller or larger to hold fewer or
more knives…)
( custom )
The center
cushions on which the knives rest
are sold separately...
There is no
real need to buy another entire blade system….
These center
cushions can be put into an attractive leather folder
holding two - four center cushion pieces…
with an attractive handle…(not shown)
Beautifully
crafted and utilized
for transport and storage
(Up to approximately
35-40 knives...)
