Vintage Knife Rolls

[knifegnome]

I like seeing everyone's vintage knives,who keeps their vintage knives in vintage knife rolls?
I got the W.R. Case & Sons from Jim Giles about 25 years ago,It is 6 feet and 6 inches long,all leather exterior and holds 150 knives.
The sheath knife roll is 4 feet long, it does not have a Brand name.

Knife rolls originated as a practical method for knife salesmen to carry and display samples to show their customers. Hence the name “salesman’s roll”. The contents were continually unrolled and “aired” when shown to potential buyers. IMHO they were not intended for long-term storage. Some folks, including me, have experienced damage to knives stored in such rolls for extended periods of time. Others swear by them. (Since my bad experience I swear at them.) I will not keep knives in mine for more than a few days, but they are handy for transporting and displaying knives at shows and such.
