My new knife storage
Got this 22 drawer old Card stock cabinet the other day. Works good for my meager accumulation.

Re: My new knife storage
Very cool. It looks like perhaps you could add some lift-out trays as your collection grows.

Re: My new knife storage
Very nice Woodwalker! It doesn't look full yet, so get on it!
I have something similar just waiting
in the wings for when I fill my other storage. I'm already preparing for my old age! My wife is thrilled! PM
me your address, and I'll mail you some Case stickers for it, if you want some.

Re: My new knife storage
Should hold your knives very well. I like
the idea you could label the drawers on
the outside.
Nice cabinet.

Re: My new knife storage
Thank you Bob!! It will hold more knives than I'll probably ever accumulate, but you never know! 10 years ago, I used to marvel at my little cigar box of knives! That's all I had; about 5 to 10 knives, but I sure was proud of them.

Re: My new knife storage
Looks like that should work great. Keep those celluloid ones separated though.

Re: My new knife storage
This just crossed my mind -- I'm sure those drawers are not air tight. How far away is far away enough, when it comes to celluloid gas? Having no idea of the density of the gas, could it rise up into the drawer above, or sink to the drawer below?OLDE CUTLER wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2023 3:51 pm Looks like that should work great.

I've never dealt with any celluloid knives, so I have no idea.
Take care and God bless,

Re: My new knife storage
OC some I can identify as celluloid, some I have a harder time with. I believe the old Imperials with the print on the metal handles are not cell. I wish I was better at identifying cell handled knives.OLDE CUTLER wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2023 3:51 pm Looks like that should work great. Keep those celluloid ones separated though.

Re: My new knife storage
Thank you Joe!! I was running out of room in my wife's antique china hutch. I moved her hutch into her painting room to hold her paints and brushes. She is satisfied and I am as well.FRJ wrote: ↑Tue Aug 29, 2023 6:56 pmI'm likein' that setup. Easy access; easy view.

Re: My new knife storage
That is a great storage cabinet, sure looks to me that it was worth wrestling down the steps.
Did you make it to the St Louis show last weekend? It was a good one!

Re: My new knife storage
That looks like good storage capacity and doesn't take up a lot of space. I like it!

Thank you Ike. No sir, I didnt get to St Louis. My daughter moved to Sikeston Mo from San Marco's California and I've been watching over her. I think the cost of living will be much better in Southeast Missouri as compared to Southern California.

Re: My new knife storage
Thank you Glenn! That rascal weighs a ton. I should have known I was going to have trouble getting it down in my basement when he loaded it with forks on his tractor into the back of my buddy's truck. It was a job!! If I ever sell my house, it stays!

Re: My new knife storage
Ike I got that thing down the steps by putting a paint blanket down and getting in front of it and letting it slide. Almost made it all the way down because it kept catching the lip of the stair. Got within 4 steps of all the bottom and my luck ran out and down it came. No harm to the cabinet and I managed to back away in a hurry! My wife, after finding out, I still had toes and fingers busted up laughing. She said, all you needed was a cowboy hat, sitting on it, saying hold my beer, watch this!!
