Knife Storage Possibilities.

[dsutton24]

Wandering through Lowe's today, and spotted this:

Craftsman Versastack 2 drawer cabinet. They're stackable, they latch together, and at $30 relatively cheap.

The drawers measure roughly 13 1/2" wide, 11" deep, and 1 1/2" high. The latching mechanism takes up about 9 square inches of drawer space. The dividers are easily removable.

Aww, what do you know? it holds knives.

I have no affiliation with Lowe's, Craftsman, or anyone else who stands to make a buck on these things... Just thought these things had possibilities.

I use my comic book box for safe queens that I want to store the knife boxes. My users just sit on top of my entertainment shelf.

I like that wood craftsman cabinet. I do come across nice ones at flea markets and yard sales but don't have the room for them.

I use the DeWalt TSTAKS, very similar with many options, range in price from $20-40 per unit.

Both of those tool boxes are neat. I bought this. https://www.flickr.com/photos/155860989@N03/38365122145/in/datetaken-public/

Was out space in like 2 weeks. I only have about a dozen knives. Then you have knife car stuff and sheaths I want to keep in a common area.

I say if it does not fit in your pocket you don't need it

I just use a small Rubbermaid Roughneck tote for my small 100 knife collection.

I use one of those $20 aluminum briefcase looking deals. It’s not that great. I want something with a lot of dividers.

I use Nalpak Pelican boxes, but looking for something more like a those wooden toolboxes, or like an an architecture/map dresser thing, with the big flat shelves.

Just for the heck of it, here's part of the storage situation:

The stack of intermediate chests fit in a modified Sauder wardrobe. What can I say, I like drawers.

I found the Apache 3800 case to be a nice option – likely a Pelican case knockoff. From the image, clearly I need more knives to justify the size of the case.

For something portable, the Boker Plus Knife Vault works well:

Now that looks familiar. Did we see that somewhere before?

They have them at Home Depot and Lowes I think, they are pretty popular tool boxes. Amazon has them cheap too.

I put some of my hawks, short swords, bayonets, and machetes in these, and slide them under the bed. I can fit 6-9 items side by side (mostly).

I found this toolbox (used) at a flea market. I keep my smaller knives, and small knife accessories in this. Case, SAK, etc. I put the users on top for easy access. This is fairly easy to carry around the house.

These are what I use for the rest. I like them because they are easy to push around the house. I can clean knives while I am watching TV, or on the internet without spreading knives all over the place. I can fit about 30 folders side by side per shelf. I keep my users in snack ziplocks, and the rest in their boxes. You have to be careful distribute knives fairly evenly. If a drawer is too full it may sag, and warp the shelf bottom. I have over 150 knives in two of these. I also put 4 machetes, or hawks on top. No sagging.

This is the storage container my wife would like me to store my knives in.

Antique lingerie cabinet my wife found on Craigslist that matches our BR furniture.

Small drawers and drop-front on top.
