Knife transport

[rowdyrawhide]

How do my fellow smokers transport their butcher knives so that they aren't banging against each other during travel?  I have just been throwing my knives in a tool box and letting them bang together in the past but they were cheap garage sale knives so I didn't care.  In the last year I have purchased some nicer dexter's, victrinox, and henckels, I value these a little more, so any help would be appreciated.  They would be stored in such an item as well to keep them away from the rest of the family.  Nothing will make you cuss more than taking the time to sharpen all of the kitchen knives just to walk in and see someone opening up the latest amazon order or cutting  the wire ties off of the display placards for the kids toys. 

  

Thanks 

Aaron

Iv seen a lot of professional chefs brining bags like this with knives inside. Usually tends to be a pocket for different size knives and a honing steel.

What they said.....

You can also get some platic covers to use and still keep the tool box. This was the only link work would let me see.....

I too almost have a fit when I get a nick in one of my knives!

The nylon knife roll up is a great idea.

When I travelled more, and took my knives with me to events, I used old towels and a cheap tool box.   The "home boss" had sewn pockets into the towels and we could throw it in the washer whenever it got dirty.  It was similar to the current knife rolls. 

 I have a friend who still uses his trusty ammo box and won't use anything else.

Whatever fits your budget and circumstances.  However, you can "hint" that Christmas, Anniversary, graduation, etc. is coming up soon.

Good luck!

I found a pro sharpener at a farmers market and he gave me all the sizes of cardboard covers that fit my knives for $3 - I still have them 4 years later

I had to haul my knife somewhere a few years back and this is what I made for the trip....   Now it lives in the cardboard scabbard in the drawer...   Sure saves the edge....  Lousy picture but you get the idea.....
