knife storage

#1

Post by .357 mag »

What does everyone use to store there knives besides the spyderpak? I have alot of fixed blades that I want to store with all my folders.

I was looking at a Waterloo 3 draw top tool chest for 40 bucks. Put some foam liners in there and your good to go. It will even fit in my gear cabinet.

Frankly, i'm a little bit old school.

I keep the original packaging that they came in, bubble wrap and all. Then i just always keep my knives in their respective packages, and open one when i need it. It's not an efficient use of space, but i like having all of the old boxes.

I know of people using jewelry stands that have small slots for them, or the EOD packs with MOLLE on them that are good for the clips of knives.

I like the tool chest idea but, I thought that would cost too much. But, the $40 price give me pause.

I happen to be lucky though, my wife has made me Spyder Pacs out of denim, they wrok great for the collection which are all users.

I just got an open top, three drawer tool box yesterday from my parents. They got it for me specifically to store knives in.
I put my sharpmaker and things like that in the top part.

Yep. Same thing I was looking at. It was a smaller one. About 18" wide and 12'' tall.

I was thinking the same thing until I looked. I like that it can be locked and screwed into the wall. I have little boys ( 6 1/2 and 3 1/2) and they like to be into daddys things. being screwed into the wall could make a robber think twice about trying to take it.

For awhile I was using plastic organizer boxes, kind of like I use for fishing lures etc, but that was getting difficult to search through when I wanted to carry a different knife.

I received a coupon for this toolchest from Harbor Freight for a great price, and it gives me a little room to grow as well:

(some of my knives are larger fixed blades like the Forager and some ESEE knives, so they wouldn't fit into my plastic organizers.)

I keep my Sharpmakers, leather strop, torx drivers etc in the top bin.

Up until I got my spyderpac, I would store all my knives in the original box in an air tight "roughneck tote" type container.

This is a terrible photo, but perhaps you get the idea. I buy a few of these display cases every year when I go to knife shows.

Couple curio cabinets for the ones I display. Original boxes stored in a bureau drawer for the rest. Folder boxes are stored on end, with the label up and I only have a couple boxed fixed blades so finding a particular knife if I want it is not difficult.

I use some Plano tackle boxes and keep my entire collection in there until I can afford something better. I think the boxes were around $30 at the Sporting good store.

Couple pics of mine. Shot of the two tall ones was taken shortly after I put them together five years ago. They've since been moved and have "a few" more knives in them. Shot of the small one is more recent, taken about 6 months ago. It's just a bit taller than the lower half of the tall ones.

That's a great display.

I use a few drawers on my tool chest, my kitchen knife drawer and dresser drawer. But to go I picked up a TAD Gear knife collector pouch and it holds 16 folders and 4 fixed blades and folds up nice and neat!
