5thGenTexan 504 Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 How do you protect knives in the chuck box? I dont mean after at camp, but when moving from here to there and stuff in the box is moving around. How do you protect the edges? Link to post Share on other sites

HelpfulTracks 478 Posted September 20, 2021 Share Posted September 20, 2021 (edited) An easy and cheap way is to use painters drop canvas (not splattered with paint of course). Cut a swath out that is about twice the depth of the longest knife and wide enough to accommodate the number of knives you need ( about the width + 4 inches for each of the knives you plan to roll laid side by side - I wouldn't put more than 6 or so in one roll). Lay the longest knife on the roll about about 3 inches from left edge, place it so that it is centered depth wise, then place the remaining knives about 2-3 inches apart so they are laid out left to right with the tips facing you. Once they are laid out, fold the top and bottom flaps so they cover the knives. Then start rolling. Use a rubber band or paracord to secure the roll. I do the same for long spoons, spatulas, tongs etc. Keeps everything nice and neat and clean. Edited September 20, 2021 by HelpfulTracks 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

SSScout 1628 Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 Cardboard and duck tape. Works for me. I do Woods Tools at IOLS. Most of my knife and axe sheaths are "home made". Cardboard, duck tape, string to tie around the axe heads. I tried making axe sheaths with velcro closures (fancy!) but the glue fell off. Duck Tape and cordage. Link to post Share on other sites
