UBB.threads Forums General Interest Restoration, Conservation, and Maintenance Forum Who makes/sells those nice vinyl dagger cases?

I know theres 2 types cloth and vinyl, I think the vinyl looks more humidity proof. Any sources? Thanks T

I think T.Wittman , T. Johnson , Craig G. and there at any major show

Thanks Ed, ya know I can navigate to Whittmans but those other 2 sites are impossible for me to find them. Any tips. They just dont have them listed if they do they arent under supplies ,hobby essentials, etc. I didnt really want the Whittman type, vinyl is my preference. T

Old listing?

Don't forget that what keeps humidity out can also trap it inside !

Dave

Yeh, but doesnt it pay to store them when its low humidity and those silca packs are in with them? Thats what Ive been doing.Any trapped moisture is drawn to that. T

This is where I buy my cases from http://www.acecase.com/knife-cases/

Wow,ZO6Berlin thats a great deal! Thanks much. I usually see the ones I want on ebay of all places. usually 6 for $69.I can use some of those still, regards T

Great prices and made in the USA.I've bookmarked this site.Thanks for the info

Really good folks there...they said 2 weeks to man and deliver, I had them in about 3 days!

Tiep,
Be very careful about storing your daggers in those bags i did with a silica bag in each one Army, SA and both had some form of corrosion/ staining one year later. It might be the material or even moisture getting through the material being attracted to the silica bag. All i do know is i never had a problem since i displayed them in a wood case with glass top and a silica bag 5 years running now and no problems on any of my daggers. another thing too is now i have the blades coated in wax so that too may be a factor where before i just used simichrome.

Eric , thanks for the tip.

Tom Wittman does not carry those shiny vinyl cases anymore except if someone ships one to him with a dagger in it to sell. Tom has the cloth ones. Check out his site. Also rice is a good deterent for moisture. I keep an open ziplock bag ( about a cup full ) of rice at the bottom of my display cabinet, hidden in a corner. The combination of a wood cabinet and rice has helped me alot but only in a controlled environment.

I'm more of a firearms guy than a blade man, but I'd never store guns or blades in any sort of pouch, case or sack. I don't want anything that could store moisture against the metal.

Berlin is correct. Ace bags is where Johnson gets his and can be had at a good price in bulk.

You will have to check if they have vinal.
