Knives that are hard to store

[TimoNieminen]

What to do with knives that are hard to store, because they're big? I think these are destined to live in their own individual skinny one-knife blocks sitting on the wall. Or perhaps magnetic strip.

The "small" knife, there for scale, is a 9" Wüsthof. The long one is a 16" Dexter Russell pizza knife, which I use to cut pizzas. The wide one is a Spanish fish knife, San Jorge.

Do you have enough wall space !?

How about replacing first one with rolling pizza cutter and second one with deba?

How do you use the Spanish fish knife.

I bet Lefty (http://www.sharpandshinyshop.com/custom-sayas-and-brushes.html) could make sayas for those.

Yes I just purchased a 14" bullnose, when I opened the box, my first thought "that's really cool" my second thought "that's really big" I could use it as a jungle machete. Hmmmm I may have a hole drilled in the end like the old lamb splitters to hang it, or maybe through the handle.

They're used for fish butchery. See http://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/showthread.php/10668-Madrid-Fish-Monger for a photo. I haven't used mine yet, because it doesn't live in the kitchen (because it doesn't fit), and I don't have whole large fish around often. (And the last time we had a whole salmon, we BBQed it whole.)

Rolling pizza cutters suck. This knife works well for watermelons - try that with a roller.

A deba is one the list. The list is: 180mm deba, good bread knife, and whatever random stuff I run across I like enough to buy.
