I roast them. The mushroom potato is what I'm after but I also use the rings.

Today. Usually two nice ones in the padded case. Removable tray can stay real close. Stuff on the bottom doesn't get used too much but I'm really glad it's there when I need it. Especially the stashed bus/cab money (old habit from the lean days). I hide the toolbox at work when I am lazy and feeling lucky.

sweet thanks color don't really matter to me as much.
 
I really like my ultimate edge deluxe knife case.
 
Steve goodison leather knife roll Best thing ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Been enjoying my ultimate edge bag. Best bag ive used yet.
 
I've been using a koobi kit for the last 6 years or so, it's starting to get threadbare finally. I would like to find something though that will accommodate my blades over 300mm though
 
I used to carry in a Koobi Kit but after two of them not lasting too long I decided a custom leather roll was in order. I had it designed with leather and canvas from my old sea bag when I was in the military. Been with me for the past two years now, no sign of wear.
 
Always felt it was bad to carry $1000's of dollars worth of gear in cheap carrying devices that made them bang into each other.

At my old place I owned I had this:
 
For travel. Been using dewalt "tough systems " tool box rated at IP-65. dust proof and mostly water resistant.
In combination using FastCap Brand Kaisen Foam product.
Set up keeps everything separate and not banging into each other with great immediate accessibility

My kinda guy. You're not a Virgo are you?
 
That's really cool niq, how much did that cost to put together
 
Just got the email notice about the post. Not on here daily.

Total setup around $100. Cheaper than pelican case. Not water proof but water resistant. I don't see my case being submerged in water or anything. I luckily have a huge mechanics tool box at work ( also with foam cut outs and custom fit), But when Im traveling this is key. I travel back and forth from SD California to Vail Colorado. I think I have over $5k in gear in this thing so I dont think a $100 is a big deal. Ive done the knife roll, guncase, etc. and this I feel the most comfortable with for my top gear. When Im doing small jobs and traveling right now I use Jon's (JKI) small knife bag http://www.japaneseknifeimports.com/other-items/padded-knife-case-extra-large.html .
I think Im picking one of these up next time Im in LA at Mutual Trading company ( http://www.mtckitchen.com/p-426-nenohi-cylindrical-knife-bag.aspx .

Here is the breakdown on items and price for the dewalt knife case, god luck/godspeed/ganbatte


Dewalt knife box-$50 http://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-DS-150-Tough-System-Storage-Unit-DWST08201/203696495

Fast cap Kaizen Foam-$20 http://www.fastcap.com/estore/pc/Kaizen-Foam-p13435.htm

Fastcap double tape (speed tape) $20
 
Nik, A little about Virgo's:

Virgo is ruled by Mercury, and as portrayed in ancient Roman mythology, Mercury wasn't one to sit still for long. This swift-footed god was a bundle of energy, both physically and mentally, and that pretty much sums up the Virgin's makeup. A Virgo's brain is in overdrive most of the time, which is why these folks get so much done. Those born under this sign are also able communicators and use their mental acuity to maximum advantage. All of this brainpower can make Virgos prone to skepticism, and can even lead to the kind of over-think that surely leads to overkill. Thankfully, though, Virgos are also a studious lot and can temper their worst impulses with a bit of careful analysis. Virgos enjoy studying a situation in great detail, whether it's a work project or a friendship. Virgins are truly interested in understanding things. The bane of many Virgos is the perfectionism that can get in the way of their usual clear thinking. 'I'm not a perfectionist; I'm discriminating!' a Virgo would say, happy in the knowledge that their taste is unparalleled. Along those lines, Virgos are also neat and clean, save for the occasional sloppy Virgin (they do exist). Virgins are also reliable and practical and oh-so-useful to have around.

Sound like anyone you know?

Sounds pretty close but Im only try to be a perfectionist of some things. Im all air and energy ( Aquarius with Aries rising). I think I might have Virgo somewhere but I really need a reading one of these days.

Back to knives..Any more questions on the case and set up?? just let me know. Gonna see JKI new shop next month when Jon and Sara back. Might need to cut a new slot in the case for a new piece...we will see .See ya guys
 
Have to agree with nik-q1 ... the right tool for the righ job - here is what i use (FWIW this not for knives/cooking it is for 'rocket science crap' - it is just what I use for travel - the top Dewalt box in this photo is what nik-q1 shows in his photo so you can only imagine what could be put in the 2nd and 3rd box in the photo - awesome roll away & completely locked! of course that just mean you loose more when the f'ckers take it ... but a GPS button isn't really that expensive).

I can send anyone the info regarding it if you need ...

I use a leather knife roll made by a guy in Cali. who does beautiful work, though recently purchased an old vintage Kennedy tool box to just keep them at work. Moved too a tool box when I found myself collecting more knives than I actually use...but yeah, if you are carrying to and from everyday then spend a little extra cash and get a quality roll made that is going to last because a tool box is too heavy to be hauling around.
 
I just made my own knife roll with elastic loops to hold I all together. I would post a picture, but I haven't figured out how to do that.
 
Here's a pic of chef's back pack mentioned earlier in thread. Additionally, a couple of 18" knife bags w/ "job specific" knives. I can carry about six of the 18" knife bags in a canvas duffle.
