RUSTIC TOWNGenuine Leather Chef Knife Roll All Purpose Chef Roll

I recently purchased the Rustic Town Genuine Leather Chef Knife Roll, and I'm absolutely thrilled with this product! As a professional chef, I've gone through my fair share of knife storage solutions, and this one truly stands out.The quality of the buffalo leather is immediately apparent. It's not only beautiful but also feels incredibly durable, ensuring my precious knives are well-protected. The 11 storage slots are perfectly sized, accommodating a variety of knife sizes and even some of my smaller utensils. The additional zipper pouch is a fantastic touch, providing a safe place for my accessories.I also love how portable this knife roll is. The easy-carry handle makes transporting my knives a breeze, and the brass buckles give me peace of mind knowing that everything is secure. Whether I'm working in different kitchens or heading to a catering event, this knife roll is my go-to.Overall, I highly recommend the Rustic Town Genuine Leather Chef Knife Roll to any culinary professional or enthusiast looking for a stylish, durable, and practical way to store and transport their knives. It's a fantastic investment that I know will last for years to come.

I ordered this to provide a "home" for some very sharp knives I use daily for mise en place. And it arrived around my birthday!I'm a home cook with no training. But I've learned a few things from experience and from others and for the last two years and more, we've shifted almost entirely from 'heat and eat' processed foods to 'spend an hour each day' preparing decent meals from raw supplies. We are increasing what we grow at home as we learn more about that, as well, and it now replaces about half of the vegetables and herbs that we use. My wife shares cooking work, but I'm the one who does the knife-work here. And I prefer to use very sharp knives now.Our daughter is profoundly autistic and isn't safe for her to be around sharp knives. I keep her safer by keeping them dumped into a plastic box that is placed high and where she cannot easily reach. But just stacked together in a box like that makes getting one of them out of there a 'pain'. So my wife finally just said 'buy something nice' and I did!Just receiving it today, I am very impressed. I do some leather-work as a hobbyist of sorts and have plenty of tools and liquids related to working with leather. This product is exceptionally well-done and there is no way I'd be able to make something like this for what I paid to receive it. I feel I may have gotten the better end of the deal and consider myself very fortunate that Rustic Town has done the legwork needed to allow me to find and purchase such a nice product for my knives. It's still going to sit up high on a shelf away from my daughter. But now I'll have an easier time picking out tools and putting them back, again.My priority knives to store are the 8" (20 cm) ones, though I will be adding more tools soon. All of those 8" knife handles fit into the pockets. Some of the odd handles, particularly the Mercer knives, are a slight stretch to set in. But that's with a brand new product. I expect the pocket leather to 'wear in' over time. So this isn't a complaint. Just an observation. My Global (uniquely sharp) and Niuta C5 fit quite easily. The longest blade I'd consider in this would be 30 cm (12"). The outside length of the leather is 19.5" or about 50 cm, which obviously has to be enough for knife handles and all the necessary leather stitching. The unrolled outside span is about 29" or about 74 cm, and that isn't with me carefully pressing it dead-flat but allowing just a little bit of natural curl to it. Indeed there are 11 pockets for knives. And everything I expected to see was included.Again, I believe I got the better end of the deal. It is certainly worth the asking price and I am certainly going to gladly consider anything from Rustic Town should I find need of their products.I could have gone with something a little cheaper. But I'm glad I didn't.And now that I've seen the product I'd very much like to give a shout to those helping bring it here. I don't know much about Rustic Town, but I sincerely hope they are treating well those who work with them and that they may continue doing so. I've no question they are delivering good quality at a very fair price right now. They included a standard form letter talking about the artists supported by the products they sell and that they also include a stipend of some form to help 'under-privileged.' (My wife and I spend 300 hours per year volunteering locally and every little bit helps.) It also includes on the back good instructions about the care of leather. I already have various care products for leather. But if you don't, definitely consider finding some oils, conditioners and saddle soap.

Way better than I thought it was going to be. I highly recommend this roll.

Outstanding quality and functionality

Beautiful, perfect! Thank you, this is going to be a great gift.

The media could not be loaded. This thing is big and it is bulky but very well made. When fully loaded it keeps all knifes in place. The smell of leather gives it a rich feel all around.

This bag is very well made and looks great. Protect my blades and has storage. The small pouch is a nice touch thanks.

So I read some of the negative reviews on how this isn't for "real chefs" and doesn't fit 8" chef knives and that's incorrect. This roll fits my 8" gyuto with room to spare. This also fits my 9" bread knives as well as my 10" chef knife.I bought this to hold my Damascus kitchen cutlery so all my knives can be all in one place. My only request would have been for the price point to include a leather conditioner or oil so it will last. My worry is the leather will crack and the straps might fail over time. Small critique, I can buy my own leather conditioner, but thought it was worth mentioning.
