Knife Storage Idea

[Dean C.]

I figured that now that I have got some higher quality knives it was time to get a proper way to store them besides tossing them on my dresser every day. I found some videos on youtube about storing knives in a pelican case so I decided to try it and it really does work quite well. The 1170 case fits all of my knives perfectly. So thoughts and alternate ideas?

Nice work. I am currently using a square chocolate sampler tin with a foam insert. no pics yet.

I'm using a Pelican 1495. It's about the size of a briefcase and I store the knives horizontal like you do with yours.
Assuming all the folders are roughly the same length and thickness, I could probably get 30 in there. More if there are small ones
The most I've ever had in the case at once was 23.

The Pelican looks like a great idea. Is it possible to remove some of the gaps to allow more knives?

Yes I left 2 squares of foam in between the knives just because I can be a little paranoid. You can probably get away with leaving just 1 square of foam as a gap.

I am wanting to take a cigar box and add in dividers for all my pocket knives. Seems like it would be a pretty simple thing to make.

I have the same pelican case with ten spaces it works very well. The picture failed to attach. I also use a packet of silicone gel under the foam to absorb moisture .

I use Pelican cases as well. Such an easy and safe way to store our expensive knives, I have a 1300 and a 1500.

Pelicans have great products , seems to be my paper towel wrapped collection needs a better more secure home .

Damn I would need a big Pelican Case.

I wonder if they have one I can get my two handed broadsword into...

Probably it will just cost an arm and a leg

Probably it will just cost an arm and a leg

Then he would have no use for the "two handed" broadsword.

I have some hard foam in work that I need to figure out how to cut it cleanly. I like the cigar box idea.

As with firearms, folks, be careful with long-term storage of steel inside foam containers.

Foam can, will, and does trap moisture.

Moisture = bad juju to steel. Stainless or not, "protected or not". Best to not have moisture at all...

closed-cell foam if you can find it is better than open cell.

Why not just carry them all on your person like rhino does?

Because he generally has more pockets than I do.
