Im looking for ideas for knife storage. Im not talking about pelican type cases for storage but more like leather trays/boxes or wood type trays/boxes. Looking for something to put the knives I try a lot but something to put them in on top of my dresser for days they are not being carried.
 
I've been trying to figure out ideas too. So far I settled on cigar box for cheap EDC knives, collection/more expensive knives I put in a Spyderpac and stack in Sterilite box.
 
I just picked up a wooden machinist chest (8 drawer) from HF. I was worried about the fit and finish until I saw it. It's very nice, and it was $79. I have seen them on sale at HF for as low as $59.
A nice wooden chest looks good in my opinion. I'd have gotten a Gerstner, but I just couldn't afford one.

Cigar box or Plano Satchel Style Tackle Boxes.If you want something fancier consider a Jewelry Armoire.
 
These aren't wood or leather but they are well made with a nice soft interior for your knives. Different sizes available. Vlecro closure.



 
I just put a layer of padding in my drawer in a closet, that works nice, not easily noticable, easy to get at, kept all together
 
Another HF chest owner here. It's a cheap copy of the Gerstner chest but handles the job fairly well for the price. Only problem is a I've got more knives than drawer space.

I have a nice leather valet with a drawer that works well for me. Put my most used knives, DuPont lighters, xicar cigar cutters and lighters etc. Can't find a name otherwise I'd post for u. That n no camera ever since my I phone did a self-swirley. Must say life has been a bit more peaceful without it. Just some crappie flip phone designed ten yrs ago. No rush to replace either.
 
Two threads of this going right now. Here's what I posted in the other one:
I use a combination of mineral display boxes and vintage wooden wine and cigar boxes for folders. The boxes are pretty easy to come across if you fish the right places---liquor stores, smoke shops, flea markets, whatever. I finish them however I want to, line them with some cheap black Elvis velvet and lay in the knives.

Mineral display cases usually have glass insert tops and can be very nice. You can pull them up easily on Google. Lots of varieties. You'll want something flat with mainly square inches of floor space. The ones between roughly 8x10" to 10x14" or so are the handiest.

I keep the boxes in a vault and have a box out at a time, each holding a week or more's rotation of varying types of folders. I also have some of those desicant packs out of products when I see them and each knife tray has one in it.

I think another good way to go are some of the simple tackle boxes and Plano type boxes with compartments. Seems like a great inexpensive way to store them too. On the higher side, I like seeing the multi-leveled, multi-drawered wooden craftsmen's chests and the rolling tool chests full of nice knives. Some of those are really cool.

I store most of my fixed blades in Storm, Otterbox or Pelican cases unsheathed. All the sheaths are in one place.

Said this before, but once you have enough knives worth stealing, you will want to get one of these:
