High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Ruddles Mills Hardboard Display Case with Blue Velvet Insert (20.25" x 14.25" x 2") delivers dependable storage and elegant presentation in one durable, American-made design. Built from hardboard—a dense engineered wood composite—this case offers a rigid, warp-resistant frame that's also lightweight for easy handling and display flexibility. It's a practical choice for collectors who want to display flat items like medals, coins, knives, patches, or other memorabilia without compromising protection or style.
The case’s lid features 1/8-inch double-strength glass, providing a clear, sturdy viewing window that shields contents from dust and handling. The glass is secured with a removable glazing spline, allowing for easy replacement without tools if necessary. Brass hardware, including polished hinges and a classic clasp latch, offers a reliable closure system while adding a refined visual touch that pairs well with both traditional and modern décor.
Inside, a layer of soft foam is covered with a deep blue velvet insert that enhances the contrast and visibility of your displayed items. The plush velvet not only elevates the presentation but also helps keep contents securely in place by preventing shifting during movement. Whether resting flat on a tabletop or mounted vertically on a wall, this case is designed to keep your collection protected and beautifully presented.
On the base, felt pads help prevent surface scratches and stabilize the case during use. Optional sawtooth hangers allow for vertical wall display, giving collectors the flexibility to choose the best arrangement for their space.
Measuring 20.25 inches wide by 14.25 inches tall and 2 inches deep externally—with about 1 inch of usable interior depth—this case provides ample room for most flat collectibles while maintaining a clean, low-profile footprint. It's a solid balance of strength, elegance, and practicality.
Proudly made in the USA by Ruddles Mills, this display case reflects thoughtful craftsmanship and reliable construction—built for both display impact and long-term preservation. Visit SMKW to get your very own Display Case!
