How I store my knife sharpening kit

Hi all,
Thought I'd share how I store my sharpening kit. It works great and keeps all my stuff in one spot.

Nice. I use a big Plano tackle box to store my knives in.

Tackle boxes work perfectly for many similar storage needs...and they keep everything in one place...bonus

Wow you are very neat. My stuff is in a pile by the kitchen sink.

A place for everything and everything in its' place...my motto...I am a bit of a "neat nik"

I have a free standing bookcase that has a couple of shelves dedicated to just sharpening gear. It is right behind me as I type. I have to use a cane or wheeled walker to get around so as I'm sitting at my puter I can just swivel around and get the gear with little effort.

I have countless stones I've acquired over the years, old wet stones, oil stones, along with a host of steels and strops but the core of my kit is in this box. I also have a pretty nice variety of diamond hones also.

Even with an Edge Pro, Sharpmaker, and Lansky, I still do 90% of my sharpening free hand.

The ceramic home I have, shown in the bottom of the pic is a $5,000 ceramic flange, it has a little chip in it so they couldn't use it on the MOCVD (metal organic chemical vapor deposition) system from one of my jobs so the engineer gave it to me.
