How A Leather Knife Roll Is Made

By Daniel Wilson


Kitchen knives have been commonly used by chefs or a chef wanna be in preparing dishes. Maybe that is why chefs love them. It has become part of their daily activities that they bring these utensils with them.

To deliver them in a safest and most discreet manner, chefs usually keep them in a bag which houses a bunch of these sharp objects. It is known as a leather knife roll. You can buy them from retail stores or find them online. Its structure may look complicated but actually an easy thing to make. The following paragraphs will enumerate the steps on how it was done.

Kitchen knives must be prepared and arranged on your own preference. A pocket must be made. Just make sure there is an extra space available the basic area where the knife itself resides. Decide on the layout that you desire. Then, the basic area is measured according to its width and length. Doing so will help you determine how much leather will be needed. Consider also its length which will be used for covering the blades and handles.

Look for the best leather. Search online or go to the store nearest you. Whether you are buying online or on a shop, show to them your layout and explain to them about the knife roll that you are going to making. Once they understand what you really need, they will be the ones who will provide you the best type to use. Furthermore, the size should be larger by four hundred percent.

Prepare all the necessary tools and materials. The basic tools and supplies may include mallet, needles, or glue exclusively for it, and many others. Some may prefer using different tools instead of following the standard lists of materials.

Mockup layout on paper. In this step, a kraft paper is used. It is where you will create an outline of a cowhide. Using a marker pen, follow the shape of a cowhide which is laid down in a paper and cut out the drawing by following its shape.

Necessary changes are made on the design that is placed first on paper. Adjustments are made until the desired layout has been perfectly achieved. You can do this by arranging the knives and other objects in their respective places.

Actual layout. This step is done finalizing the output. In this case, whatever design and layout that you have conceptualized in a paper will come to life. This involves transferring of layouts from paper to leather. An assembling of parts like straps and cutting of pieces of it are involved. Once you are through with the assembling, have these sharp objects be seated in pockets of the finished product. To have it stretched, repeatedly arrange these sharp objects for few days or more.

Do final sewing and gluing to assure its durability. But before that, see to it that the knives are fitted in properly. You can also make further changes on the design while it is not totally glued. Some of you may use any kind of glue but it more advisable to use leather glue for best results.
