A
knife display case can make a big difference in the kitchen. It protects your
knives from damage and makes them easy to see and organize. But there are a lot
of options out there for knife display cases. Here's how you can choose the
right one for your home or business, based on what you need it to do:
Size
The
size of the knife should help you determine what size knife display case you
need. It won't fit comfortably if your knife is too big or small for the case.
A smaller knife might not fit at all!
A
good rule of thumb is that the length should be proportional to the width and
height of the display case. For example: if your blade is 6 inches long, your
display case should also be 6 inches wide and high (or taller). This will allow
people viewing your knife collection to view its entire length without having to
move around too much in their seat or lean over awkwardly, keeping them comfortable
so they can enjoy themselves while admiring each piece in total comfort!
Mounting
Options
When
mounting your knife display case, you have a few options. The first is a wall
mount, which means that you'll be hanging the case on a wall (obviously). Table
mounts are similar, except they're designed for countertops or tabletops.
Another option is counter mount: in this version, both sides of the case are
open so that it can be placed on top of a table or countertop and viewed from
either side. Floor mounts are another popular option, as they allow you to
display knives safely and securely while they're staying out of harm's way when
not in use. Pedestal mounts provide another good option—they're meant to hold
several knives at once! Finally there's double mount (or double-decker)
cases—these hold two separate collections together within one glass enclosure!
And finally there's single-dechre cases—which can also show off multiple blades
but aren't quite as secure as their counterparts because they only come with
one glass enclosure instead of two.
Style
The
style of the case you choose for your knife collection is important, whether
you're displaying your knives in a kitchen or in a dining room. A traditional,
modern, or contemporary-style knife display case will work well with any decor.
If
you're looking for a wooden display case, there are many options available that
have been stained with an assortment of shades. The wood can be made from pine
or cherry and finished with tung oil or polyurethane to protect it from
scratches and to rust over time. You may also want to consider acrylic displays
if you prefer something less expensive that's still durable enough to hold
heavy objects like knives without cracking under pressure (or even being able
to simulate that effect).
Shelves
It
is important to look for shelves that are made of a non-porous material. This
is necessary because it will help prevent the knives from getting damaged by
water if you happen to spill something on them. It's also a good idea to find shelving
that can securely hold your knives, which will make it easier for you to show
off your collection without worrying about it falling over or sliding around.
The last thing you want is for knives in your display case to start falling out
and injuring people!
Hinge
Type
The
hinge type is important because it's the method of attaching the glass to the
case. The three most common types are metal, wood, and plastic. Metal hinges
are generally the most secure but can be a bit more expensive than their wooden
or plastic counterparts. Wooden or plastic cases tend to be less costly than
ones with metal hinges, but they're also not as sturdy and might not hold up
well over time (though this is undoubtedly less true for high-end models).
Knife display cases are a fun way to add a little flare to your
kitchen. They're also a great way to show off your collection while keeping
them accessible and safe from damage.
