Knife Cases and Roll

[chefdavid321]

I've always wanted a cool knife roll or case to transport my knives and tools. I've considered getting one made for me by a custom leather worker and I've seen the ones on jck and Korin, but most rolls that I've owned or have seen for sale are just not that great. Any ideas? What do you use?

Large, fit's almost everything you need.

Also Koobi makes an equivalent to this, though inside one pocket design is different, Messer has a mesh pocket, Koobi has a plastic one.

Oh btw, I got mine at Broadway Panhandler in NYC. I think it was 40dollars or so. Jb Prince also carries bags, as with the cutlery store inside Chelsea market.

I love my Koobi Kit. Well-made and plenty of room. I have all my tools, 10 knives, 2 steels, and a cleaver in mine.

Craftsman tool box! Sorry no fancy stuff here

[chefdavid321]

Yeah, done that and probably will do again.

Somebody should make a business out of providing custom knife luggage.

Barbara Lynch (Boston's No. 9 Park chef), working with the Anthropologie people, has created something along those lines. The NYT Magazine did a brief bit on it in May, and you can get one at Stir, their shop/cooking education center.

I have the Mercer Tools 29-slot case:

Item #: M30429M (Scroll down until you see the red liner.)

However I also use the Edge guard blade guards sold by the same vendor.

If you are a fanatic, there is always this!
