Quite a collection you have.
I had no idea there were so many colors available.

Very nice collection!

Where do you get those cases?  I have one like it, but it doesn't have the handle on the outside.  Do they have the felt liner that lays on top of the knives to keep them from scratching each other when closed?
If the trees blew down the wind and no one was around, would the alphabet song really go backwards?

Hi,

The link to the large and small cases are below.  :salute:
They are cheap and do the job just fine.
Not sure if that's the best price but they always seem to have them.

Excuse me while I exclaim...OMG!

What a fantastic collection you have! It's hard to imagine that you were able to collect that many quality alox in just two years. Of course, I am filtering my perception through the lens of a very limited fixed income. Just from the monetary aspect alone I find it amazing! Thanks for sharing!

google or ebay; United Cutlery UC1338
I have seen prices from $9 - $30.

These cases are great to store SAKs but not the realy big ones.

That is one heck of an alox collection, and those cases seem to make it very accessible.  I like it.

Those 'Buddha' and 'Buddog' pictures are also great, not to mention Karl's Alox 91mm.

It's a good day for SAKs by the looks of it.
