Bob Rodgers Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Here is a drawer of 2nd luftwaffe'sI have two of these cabinets custom made for me.
jim m Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 Bob has created an ultimate safe storage environment here which is predicated upon the unique storage requirements in the North West.I live it the South West and the requirements here are drastically different. Perhaps we can get a thread going on the unique requirements of the different geographical areas.Jim
Dave B Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 So you are a blades out man then eh Bob! What are the benefits of storing daggers out of their scabbards?..or if anyone is a blades in man,then why?Btw,great storage!Dave
Bob Rodgers Posted June 9, 2006 Author Posted June 9, 2006 (edited) Dave,I just prefer to have them out of the scabbard.The junk that is in the scabbard can cause problems with the blades.There is always a chance of more runner marks or even scratching of the mottos. let alone damage to etching or personell dedications.On top of that, i get a smile everytime I open the drawers which happens almost daily..

Guest Brian von Etzel Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 Looks like a 'smart' cabinet. Nice oak on the outside of the drawers and the inside appear to be made of materials that won't 'off gas'.
Rich Yankowski Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 Bob showed the proper way to store daggers,now I'll show the cheaper route.
Rich Yankowski Posted June 10, 2006 Posted June 10, 2006 Don't know if this wall above the storage shown above would be considered storage since it's really more of a display. Flag is a repro.
Bob Rodgers Posted June 10, 2006 Author Posted June 10, 2006 Brian,Yes they are made to resist any damage.The outside wood is Solid Red Oak.It took two guys and a hand cart to move them. If i have to guess they would be about 250 lbs.I had them custom made , the size? 5 foot long , two foot deep and 4 foot high
redcross Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 as much as I like oak, the wood is acidic and can promote corrossion
