Becker Storage

[Jonny1280]

So I've had all my fixed blades in one of my packs for quite some time.
It's gotten very cluttered and today I figured I'd do something about it.
I went out to the garage and grabbed a small tool box that I have'nt used much.
Emptied it out, wiped the dust off, put in some drawer liners, and slapped on a Ka-Bar decal.
I'm happy with the results. Now I can keep most of my blades organized and under lock and key.

So how do you all store your Beckers?

Oh, that's very nice.

I store mine here and there... there's one in the bookshelf.

Good idea!! I've been watching for a good used toobox to do the same thing. If I ever find one I'll be using it for knife and reloading equipment storage.

 

[Hunter Sharp]

Thats a really cool idea. I like how you keep the sheaths up top as not to store the blade in its sheath, a mistake that some people make.

 

[daizee]

you can easily get moisture problems with that kind of drawer liner too, but add some desicant and put the blades away with a little mineral oil and you're good. In fact, adding a wipey cloth to that tool box would be a good idea.

Or what about those cans you can buy to keep safes dry?

Thanks for the tip Daizee.
I didn't know those liners could cause an issue.
I'll just drop a small pack in each drawer and call it good.

Mine are scattered about....usually in or on a pre-stocked backpack or kit so no matter what I grab, there is a knife with it.

I maintain a fairly level stock, so I don't have so many I have to store them. If I am buying more knives than Ivan use, then I am neglecting other areas of my preps. That being said...I still like buying stuff, so I rationalized it by branching out... machetes, tomahawks, swords, etc...

looks good and a very good idea!

Love it! I'm going to have to spend more money to up the tool box!

I'd need a way bigger toolbox. Most of them are piled up on a shelf with a few others scattered about. I'll divy up a few for kits and things as I get them put together but I'll also be adding more to the stockpile. I had a bunch of cash that I could have spent on knives but I found a pair of W. German Sig P220s for $500 each. I can buy knives anytime...

So my cousin gave me a new tool box this weekend and I thought it would be best to keep my Beckers (and some friends) in it!
They are my favorite and most used tools I have anyway.

Got most of them in there but gonna need another box for the rest! lol

Thing I'm going to keep all my extra hardware and sharping stuff in the top of the box.

 

[gmoneyluv]

Never thought about storing the Beckers this way - makes a ton of sense! Thanks for sharing all these ideas!

 

[tjswarbrick]

That looks really nice.

What's the orange-handled one next to the wood-scaled 16 (which is gorgeous, by the way)?

When my 16 was my one-and-only, it was hanging in a modded factory sheath on a peg on the tool shelf in my garage. Now that they're a team, they're all in leather on the top shelf of my toolbox (lightly oiled, of course.) I'm thinking to build a small, handy spot where they'l be accessible to me but out of the way for my kids and visitors, but haven't figured anything out yet.

I have those same liners in my toolbox and they have become stuck to some of the tools.. makes sticky spots on them.

 

[acerpower]

That's a great idea.
Most of my knives are scattered in a drawer under my gun cabinet, all in they're sheaths.
I'll have to keep my eye out for a cheap toolbox.

That is a Fiddleback Forge Bushcrafter. It has since flown the coop.
Great knife and wonderful craftsmanship. I cant say enough about Andy Roy's work!
It just wasnt seeing much use. The BK16 is the go to worker.
Hmmm...it seems I need an updated pic of the lnife box!

I use a husky tool box as well (Along with a top dresser drawer and a random drawer in the kitchen) I'll try to remember to get a photo of the box tomorrow. They work well for organization.

 

[Psyop]

I have a bunch on my dresser here are some in my shop and a toolbox of sheaths. I am not as organized as I would like to be, but it works for me pretty much.
