The "cutlery" (knives and forks) which I showed in other threads and are smaller are all identical. I wanted to draw all the different "designs" into a small booklet but as I never came to it, I have a problem now as I have so many...guess I have to wait untill I retire some day and start... no rest for the wicked or punishment for having been lazy... :-) Last edited by gp; 29th November 2022 at 09:07 PM. |

First to the members celebrating the end of the Ramadan: Bayram Mubarek Olsun! Happy Eid el Fitr ! ☼
Tip on displays: some guys who make standard ones do custom make them as well when asked and for not too much additional costs. I met a very kind guy in the UK who makes 3D printed display stands. Amongst them some for knives, bayonets and daggers. So I simply asked if he could make a long(er) one ; long enough to support 2 yataghans. Gave him the dimensions and he did. Got 2 set for 2 yataghans each and one set to support a yataghan and its scabbard. The advantage of these 3 printed ones: they are very light and still do support my yataghans very well. Hence shipping costs are very low due to the weight ; almost to be ignored and hence when paying import duties ( % on purchase price + freight) and VAT taxes on all your costs due to Brexit.... remain low. As also the price of these 3D printed once are not high... So I am getting aways from the wooden ones and turn to these black "printed"once. Modern technology for this old bloke ☺ And like lego, you can take them apart easily as there is no need to glue the 9 pcs. Last edited by gp; 23rd April 2023 at 04:02 PM. |

Adding this from another thread...
Attaches via magnets that are adjustable in height. Direct blade contact is extremely strong, through scabbard depends on shape (flat surface very solid, convex can slip to sides) and thickness of material. The example here is very secure. For earthquake I would be more worried of the stand toppling, particularly for longer pieces. These are heavy metal plates but I would want heavier for your case. These stands came from a well known French collector of African swords. |
