I roast them. The mushroom potato is what I'm after but I also use the rings.
I just bought one of these for an Xmas gift for someone that will use it for tools, not knives, but I think that it would would really well for knives and sharpening / kitchen gear. Kind of a hybrid between the open bucket style organizer and a more secure / closeable traditional box.

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.
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?
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?
Very slick set-up Nik.
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 .
