Finally did something with my knives!

I guess it pays to have a very modest collection, although it seems to be growing again lately.

I found an old craftsman storage box in my closet that wasn't being used...

Added a nice, thick, plush microfiber buffing towel (crudely cut to fit)...

Plus some old foam laying around the house, thinly sliced... and voila!

Portable, safe storage for 14 of my knives. Plus one for my pocket! One comes out, one goes in!

Only one yeller peanut didn't make the cut for the box... time to start adding for the next one, I guess!

Looks good. Bonus for using things you had laying around.

Cigar boxes work well too, often times they can be had rather inexpensively at tobacco / cigar shops...
I tend to just line em up all naked like together in the box, but I like what you did there :thumbsup:

That's exactly what I do. Four cigar boxes so far, plus I keep my Spanish navaja and my Hartshead Barlow (@Jack Black SFO) in the boxes they came in.

I use briefcases. I can pick up leather (and rarely a high end aluminum) ones for around $10. They hold a lot of knives. Camera cases are good too.

I have a way to go before I need a briefcase for my knives!

I was using a Christmas card box before, probably about the size of a cigar box, but everytime I bumped it they all went flying around. I wanted to give them a little more protection, and also something I can take with me if I ever get out of the house again!

Also, and probably most importantly, I was kinda bored and just wanted to play with my knives somehow! :thumbsup:

I just throw mine on a shelf.

I use machinist tool boxes and keep desicant in the drawers. I've got a couple of them. They work great and have felted drawers. And i can store sheaths and other leather in the top portion.

My local Total Wine has free wooden cigar boxes. They are right by the exit. I take 2 each time I buy booze. Maybe other locations do this too.

Ditto. This is my “Swiss Army”
box.

And this is my “Other Swiss Army Plus Everything Else” box.
