Just curious what folks here use when transporting their more collectible or custom 110's? I used to just use a Buck 110 nylon sheath, but some of those have a metal button that can scratch the knife.

Mainly looking for ways to carry just 1 or 2 for showing, like a padded case of some kind.
 
i have mine in cases were they are inset were a 1/4 inch foam board between them and the lexan holds them in place in ANY position. it is secure enught i will use the display cases to ship the knives in to post falls!
NOTE :
i seen some supper rare and very nice knives at a knife show 5 years ago...
many many had the circle marks were they were folded closed for storage
and opened again for display!
i dont close my knives at all except for highly unusal reasons...
i dont like circle markes...
so i store my nice ones always open..
 
You can use a eyeglass case,really any small case that the knives will fit...Make sure they cant bang around!
 
I've used padded cases intended for carrying pistol magazines, or range bags, when I needed to carry a lot of knives. The magazine cases will usually carry 10 or 12 110s in individual pockets. With the range bags, I could put loose knives in the magazine pockets on one side, sheaths on the other side, and several of the translucent plastic boxes with dividers (often sold to fishermen as tackle boxes) holding boxed knives in the main compartment. This let me safely carry around 60 110s in one bag. I've had very good luck with bags manufactured by Kolpin.
 
i missed the one or two part...
bro has an idear on useing an eyeglass case ..
one slip in case for each knife ... wow - works for me! :D
 
I'll have to do a Google search and see if I can locate a source for them again, but there are various sized, extremely heavy-duty cloth cases, some of which are impregnated with silicon, that are open only on one end (similar to a sheath or a "gun sock") that are made specifically for this purpose. They are extremely protective and are great both for both storing and transporting. I've got about a dozen of these, but the collection has long since grown above that number so I need some more as well. If I can find the source, I'll be back with a post with that information. Perhaps someone else is aware of these as well.

I have some of those for smaller knives, they are great.

I wonder if they make a 1 or 2 knife version?

I like that idea, I'm gonna take a stock 110 with me tomorrow to the store and check out their padded eye cases to see if one will fit a 110.

I have several of the Sack Ups in different configurations for my knives and guns. They are great for storage but don't really provide any protection for transport. There is a knife suitcase that will hold about 20 110s in padded sleeves that is pretty good. I got mine at SMKW when they still had free shipping. Now it's not as good a deal.
 
I'm cheap, Bubble wrap saved from my ebay purchases, lay one down on the edge, roll it in the bubble a couple of wraps, lay another one down, roll it, and so on and so on until you have a roll that will fit snugly in whatever size box you are storing/shipping in.

Can also use that thinner foam like the LE's come in.

pack rat i am also cheep ! but i have found that bubble wrap is NOT good for more then one or two.. at 3 or more i have found that only one bubble may not hold air and then the next knife is between bubbles and tink . you gots a bump mark,,, or if they slip a scratch from back of blade to brass bolster...
now the foam.. yep that is good but again if shifting happens they can slip around the foam and klink togeather... make pockets with the foam! not jest roll them up... slipage happens like other stuff...
i tryed bubble with my buck box and up to 20 knives and it dont work well at all.. for shiping one knife or two with each rolled up works ok ... not for normal transporting .... i speek from experance in takeing out a Nice Custom and omg a mark.....
 
Hey, this Brooklyn boy just tosses them in a pocket! Okay, a back pocket where they are the sole occupant, if they are really special. I guess I'll never have really 'collectible' Bucks...

A hermetically-sealed mayonaise jar comes to mind...

Often wondered about transporting a large quantity of 110's and keeping them secure and undamaged during the process. A little searching found the following. Go to:

knifekits.com

then cilck on accessories then click on pouches and display, then on multi carrier show.The carrier with the webbing inside looks like it would protect knives well if they were wrapped in some sort of thin cloth before inserting. Any thoughts or has any one used this carrier? Relatively inexpensive too!

I like the looks of that one. Unfortunately it looks like they are out of stock.
