Storage Chests

Dorris Wood Creations

NOTE: These chests are not available at this time. We will try to find another supplier and let you know when they are available for purchase.

These wood storage chests are not built by us here at Dorris Wood Creations, but are purchased from a supplier and offered to those of you wanting storage rather than display cabinets. They work especially well for folding or pocket knives, as well as for fixed blades as shown in the photos. (and let's not forget they work great for tools too). These chests are great for various collections, and to store items for hobbies, crafts, sewing, paints & art supplies, etc.

Although we do not custom build these ourselves, we do use them in the shop for tools, and feel comfortable offering them to you as all in all they are pretty nice chests, and offer a solution to the storage problem many of us have when it comes to knives, knife boxes, and sheaths. I use several of our display cabinets for my personal knives, but like to use these chests for the sheaths, sharpening stones, etc., ... things that you don't want to display in a glass door cabinet. They look great, very tasteful, sitting with the cabinets or on a desk top (and you don't have to worry about hiding them like you would an old unsightly cardboard box holding sheaths.).

Note: Custom engraving is mentioned, and the price is listed in the description for each of these chests with and without engraving. This engraving is done on the top of the lid with an ink fill to allow it to "stand out" very well against the wood coloring. Black ink is the standard used, if you would like a custom color other than black, ask as to the availability of the color you are wanting, and we'll see what we can do.

A). 8 Drawer Chest w/ green felt

The 8 drawer model shown above states that it is made of solid wood with a walnut stain. There are 6 smaller drawers toward the top, and 2 full width drawers. The top also opens and provides additional storage. There is a mirror mounted to the inside of the top. Soft felt lining is used in the top compartment and the drawers to prevent your knives from getting scratched. This model has a full wood front that locks with a keyed lock, and slides down under the drawers when you open it so it is out of the way. There are pins on the bottom left and right of the wood panel that slide in grooves (open much like a garage door, but goes down instead of up). The top also latches shut and locks with a separate keyed lock so you can open either the top or the drawers separately from each other. There are 2 sets of keys included. There are metal pieces on the corners to protect them from getting bumped, or dinged, and to dress it up a bit too. There is also a handle on the top of this chest to allow for easy carrying.

Custom laser engraving is available on the lid to personalize this chest for an additional charge of $65.00
