Common Questions About Leather Knife Rolls
What is a leather knife roll used for?
A leather knife roll is used for the safe storage and transportation of unsheathed knives. They are used by cooks, both professional and amateur and by hobbyists.
Is a knife roll the best storage option?
Sharp knives, stored in a cutlery drawer, will soon become blunt; they may also cause damage to the drawer and present a danger to anyone handling the cutlery, who is unaware of their presence. A popular way of storing sharp unsheathed knives is to use a knife block, this option stores the blades safely and offers ease of access, but the number of knives that can be stored in this way is limited and a knife block does not allow you to transport knives easily. A knife roll enables you to store multiple unsheathed knives, safely, in a compact and convenient wrap, which can be carried easily.
How do you store knives in a leather knife roll?
Knife blades should be inserted into appropriately sized pockets in a knife roll. The blade should be a snug fit and the handle should not protrude from the knife roll. Knives should be arranged so that the wrap can be rolled in the most compact way, without bulky handles rubbing against one another.
Do knife rolls protect your knives?
Knife rolls need to be made from a sturdy, non-abrasive material, such as full-grain leather, in order to give your knives full protection. A good knife roll protects the blades of your knives by encasing them in a close-fitting, non-abrasive sheath, which prevents friction with surrounding knives. A knife roll also protects the handles of your knives and ensures that there is no danger of a knife falling out when it is being carried.
Are knife rolls practical?
Knife rolls are the most compact and convenient way in which to store and carry your knives. Knives are contained securely in a wrap, which can be locked away until required. When the roll is opened, knives are clearly displayed and ready for use. The integral sheathes in a knife roll ensure that your knives are stored safely and remain sharp.
