Help - padded liner for cabinet drawers?

[Gator97]

Hi All,

Not so sure this is the right forum, so, modes please move it to the right forums if I picked a wrong one.

Anyway, I did some remodeling in my office room, and now finally I have a cabinet with dedicated drawers for the knives. Now I am looking for some sort of padding or liners for those drawers. Preferably soft, a little thick, nonslip. To store/display knives.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Check online for tool box drawer liners. They make different thickness on the liners. Kennendy tool boxes also makes a good liner. Have them in my roller cabinet and the tools stay put.

We have a new forum that should fit what you're looking for, so I moved the thread.

I started using the dollar store rubber cabinet liners a few years ago. They were very inexpensive and seemed to be working well. But after a while I started to notice some knife handles sticking to the liner, and the liners becoming stained with handle dye. So I've now covered the liners with felt cloth. Nice and padded still, but it's certainly not non-slip.

I wonder if the expensive toolbox liners would do the same thing eventually? I've had Craftsman brand liners in my tool boxes for almost ten years and I've never noticed any of the tools sticking. But they're all metal so maybe they wouldn't regardless...

I use magnetized liner sheets to hold some of my better knives. This is the same stuff as used for refrigerator magnet business cards. They are dense but non-marring and the benefit of the magnet is that the knives stay where I put them. You can get them in 20, 30 or 60 mil thicknesses and are sold by the foot (x24" width)

If you want the insides of the drawers to look like the inside of a jewery box, all you need is silk, batting, card board, and a hot glue gun. Start with the bottom. Cut card board 1/16 less width and depth, cut batting the same size. Hot glue batting to card board. Next, cut silk bigger than the card board and batting together, so you can wrap it to the back side and hot glue into place. Bottom done. Next cut card board the remaining height of the drawer X the total of allthe insides. You can do the sides individually, or what I do one long length, 90 degree bends at each of the four sides, and wrap it the same way you did the bottom, hot glue it in place and presto instant padded knife box. Hope this helped. -chinagreen

Do they still sell Plasti-Dip for coating tool handles? Take that and brush it in the bottom of a drawer or tray and you should be set for a long time. Clean, de-grease and dry the surface first.
