Ivars,

When considering a roll, it's a good idea to find out if it has different sized loops or not.  I had one that had a hodge-podge of different sizes that I felt were waisted.

There is no doubt that a roll is more transportable and in theory will hold more knives in less space, however, I'm not crazy about using a roll for long time storage.  I currently house my knives in chest of drawers lined with felt.   I suppose they will collect more dust but as I routinely wipe them down, I don't see this as a major problem  I also have several knives out for display.  Again they need to be wiped on a routine basis.  I want easy access and also want to show knives easily.  

 

I currently don't own a knife roll.  If I need to transport a large number of knives,  I'll probably use my camera case, which is made of anodized aluminum and several layers of  foam rubber.  I'd wrap the knives in acid free archive paper and place them between the layers of foam.  If I needed a larger container, I've got plenty of foam rubber as well as a very large suit case.

 

Space is a major consideration.  I've got the space so I have plenty of options. If you don't have space, a roll may be an ideal solution  because you can pack knives aways and display them in a small amount of space fairly quickly.

 

Needing  to haul knives is another consideration.  If you're hitting the shows and moving your knives often, the roll or a special carrying cases are probably a necessity.

Stain looks good on the RR chest, Billy.

Alex, which one did you order? The lockback?

I just ordered the small version of the Damascus Rough Rider from a dealer in the states.

 

I'm very curious as to how I'll like it.

That looks good Billy! I left mine natural with a coat of  Minwax clear satin polyurethane.

 

No, I didn't try hrknives.com yet. I've never done business with them, but I'll try sending them an email asking if they actually have it, or they think they can get it.

Here is the pic of my Rough rider chest. I got it free from SMKW for buying some RR knives. Craig, did you check with HR knives? That was the website I got that from.

I have two of the knife chests. As far as I know bladematrix.com DOES still have some left. I got mine for $13.95!

 

Speaking of bladematrix.com........I called bladematrix and Cecil said he does NOT have the RR1021 Damascus lockback in stock. He said he thinks he can get one somewhere. So, I don't know. When I get out to pick the money tree I might try to see if he can get me one. I have so many other RRs to get I'll have to see.

 

I think my money tree needs  fertilizer.
