Awesome Knife Storage Solution

[Balislinger]

Hey guys, every now and then I come across a good deal on a great piece of knife storage equipment. It depends on your security needs of course, as many of us use big ol' heavy safes, but you can't beat this for the price. In fact, it's better than solutions that cost three times as much. What you get:

1) It's BIG. Lots of room here for big fixed blades, and much more storage volume than a Gerstner type of thing

2) It's fairly light. With the drawers out, you can move it easily with a friend.

3) All stainless steel construction. Not only is it high-quality materials, but it cleans up nicely, has a custom look, and won't off-gass glue, wood treatment chems, or urethane. Don't need to worry about non color-fast felt liners.

4) Doesn't have the usual air gaps most tool chests have that allow dust in, but still permits air flow.

5) Drawers on bearings, not sliders, like most professional tool chests

Let me know what you think, and if you have something else you think is a better value and solution for knife storage.

I used to recommend flat file cabinets such as the one below, but the problem with those is that unless you employ non-stick liners, you end up using only the front half, as the knives tend to slide around and it's hard to reach the back. Most non-stick liners off-gas, negating the advantage of a metal cabinet. For those who need a great deal of space, particularly for fixed blades, a flat file might still be a good solution if you order and install a stable thin cork pad for each drawer. Even then however, most flat file cabinet drawers are too think to accommodate fixed blade sheaths to sit alongside the knives, especially with a liner. Not so with the tool chest. The drawers are deep enough to accommodate the knives and their sheaths.

I couldn't tell if it can be locked or not. Can it?

Yes, the Husky stainless steel tool chest can be locked. I ended up taking out the liners and using pillowcases instead, as the liners had a slight odor to them. I'm very happy with it.
