Ideas for knife storage methods

[Steve51]

I do not display my knives. I keep them in a Winchester wooden ammunition box. Most are kept in the box they were purchased in. The ones that do not have boxes, I keep in a silicone type wrap with several pouches for holding knives. The ammo box is now full - so I am either done collecting or need to be shopping for another ammo box.

Better go get another box. You probably aren't done collecting yet.

Got a couple storage ideas.
1: I smoke a pipe [no cigs for 2.5 yrs.], but the tobacco store where I get pipe tobacco also sells cigars.
They have some very nice cigar boxes that they sell w/empty. [they give them to my wife a lot].
2: Not really going to be used for knives, but could be. Wife found this wooden box at a thrift store for $5.00.
I'm going to cut top out and put glass in it, maybe refinish and put my DW Super Mags in it to display.
I think it's pretty cool, was a old copy machine case, I'll put some foam in it and a liner ??
I also save silica gal packs whenever I get them [in car parts a lot] and put in storage areas, to help w/moisture

Here's a couple cigar boxes. The Chillin Moose one is real cool.

Good suggestion based on your wife finding the wooden box at a thrift store. A new thrift store just opened about 10 minutes from our place, and I might just head out there and check it out this week. I think DD & Steve51 are probably right that I'll need another box, or larger one, in the days ahead. Thanks!

BTW, nice-looking revolvers!

A little delayed on your comment about getting another box.
I did just that today since I didn't go to any outdoor range due to rain here and there.

After a visit to an LGS, I stopped at a wally world's sporting dept to get some Hoppes #9, and some bore brushes for my Henry .22LR. Checked out the tackle boxes again, and found a nice larger Plano box that has adjustable compartments. Depending on the knife lengths, I could display/store about 10 or 11 in this box. Along with the 8 compartment smaller box I have, I'm close to twenty spaces. Remember, my collection is only 8 knives, so I have a little ways to go to fill these up! What was cool is that with the adjustable compartments, I made one for the fixed-blade orange Buck Skinner knife (8" OAL).

So I'm set for some time by the numbers. BTW, I do have my eye on another Case (not wasting any time, am I ?!?). Considering a Peanut I see on BladeHQ. The different Peanuts I see available there are really sharp-looking knives. And there are some plus comments about them on the knife forum, too.

Anyway, want to keep on reading about this Peanut, especially learn more about the Peanut's blade material; it's called Chrome Vanadium, and I've not heard of that before. And there are other knife specs, which I don't know what they're saying yet. But it's been fun digging out that info so far!!

Have a great day.

I'm glad to hear you are still going with collecting. Are you going to carry any of your knives? Depending what I am doing, I carry two knives usually. Lately, it's a Buck 307 large stockman in the pocket and a Remington Jumbo trapper in a pouch on my belt. I recieved a Case peanut for Christmas. I'll have to find it and take a few pictures of it.

I've had my Swiss Army knife (multi-tools) as my EDC for so many years, the pants pocket would probably holler at me if it wasn't there every day!! In just this short time I've acquired this fun interest in knives, I have switched my EDC knife, like you, depending on what I'm doing. The Sarge is a "new" EDC lately, and the quite small SOG fixed blade (snarl) fits nicely into the cell phone pocket on my cargo jeans, or even in the small pocket watch pocket. Usually carry only one EDC.

I'll be interested in seeing/hearing about your Case peanut. Which model did you get as the gift? There are any number of threads on KF about those knives, and the comments are interesting -- and sometimes plain 'ole entertaining. Also the longer threads with subject such as "What is your favorite knife?" are great reads.

Time to start the day's journey. Have a good one!
