Storage Solutions

#1

Post by ImHereForTheMilitary2 »

now that my collection is obv. growing, Im finding it difficult to find a good storage solution for them. Right now I have them in pigeon-hole style box that I found at a local store, but its a crappy solution and I was looking for something a little more elegant, something that made more sense and was felt-lined or allowed me to organize them by family (military family, manix family, native family, etc).

I cant be the only one so any help would be much appreciated. Thnx in advance!

My friend uses a Harbor Freight wooden tool chest, like the one in the link below.

I just hang the models with opening holes on hooks in my cabinet.

The Apache cases from HF are great, and really affordable.

It’s not as elegant as the wooden tool chest, but Lowes has these plastic organizers by Stack-on with adjustable compartment sizes. They also stack and latch together, so you can just keep adding more of them as your collection grows and they stack neatly.

Looking on their site, I can’t find them now, but if they’re not there, there will be something just like them.

Eventually you’ll have one for every steel, model, color, etc 😉

I use a few of these (or ones that are really close)

You can rearrange the little dividers for different size knives. In the bottom compartment I use cardboard pieces to make double rows. I think I have almost 30 knives in each one of these

I post this every time it comes up, but I really think they are **** near perfect for the use. Hard to beat the price and you can fit 12-15 per unit. Stackable, comes with drawer liners, easy to throw in the safe...

I even recently upgraded my prized sterilites by lining the bottom with an old dish towel.

All of mine are just lying openly on a windowsill (resp .some of them on some tables, in the kitchen)... so actually no "storage system".

But I am down to "just" 14 at the moment, this helps.
Top three going by pocket-time (update March 24):
- EDC: Endura thin red line ffg combo edge (VG10); Wayne Goddard PE (4V), Endela SE (VG10)
-Mountains/outdoors: Pac.Salt 1 SE (H1), Salt 2 SE (LC200N), and also Wayne Goddard PE (4V)
