All you need is thick canvas fabric and a sawing machine. The blade guard is made out of kevalr fabric but any solid piece could work. My knife roll is 38cm high and 96cm long. If you are interested in getting the design to make it yourself, leave a comment down below.

Hey, I'm an expert on anthropological behavior (which basically means study of people's bullshit). Pretension is everything in New York "High Culture" scene. You're too real for them. If you want to make a splash, monogram your EDC Chef's kit. Put a poodle head on it, and have a doctor classify it as a support animal before you come. Identify as a woman, black Muslim gay chef. If they start anything about your knives raise holy hell, squeal, act like you're going to pass out. Call them racist because they won't allow a Muslim to bring knives on a plane because they're scared of little lady you. Rant about how you used to be fat because you said Aloha Snack bar and how you became thin and sexy because you said Aloha Snack Bar! (Aloha means hello and also goodbye). You'll get noticed, and be SO in, in New York Shitty. I mean city. Side note. You're very entertaining and I'd watch you no matter what your subject matter, probably :).

Nice set up. I've been a catering chef for years, so I have my own EDC. And I always try to take it when I'll be cooking. My knife roll with my 6 most used knives, honing steel, a peeler, microplane, and mini offset spatula. Then I have an elastic grid organizer with my tongs, thermometer, fish spatula, scissors, and a few other things. Throw all that in my backpack with some towels, gloves, pens, markers, etc, and I'm ready to cook anywhere.

Chefs, even home cooks, NEED to have THEIR chosen equipment with them to bridge the gap in an unfamiliar kitchen. Our work requires both confidence and a sense of 'harmony.' I am nervous enough when I am at the creative edge, without having to use equipment I cannot instantly 'bond' with. Enter this project: of course, I would NEVER have cut off those last two pockets! Alec's kit is compact enough that two more pockets will 'earn their keep.' The idea of Kevlar fabric to reinforce the sharp edge carrying pockets is just right.

I made the same thing for my bike tools, but I used a cut down reuseable shopping bag. Its amazing, because with the rolls I can pack my tools down into a small form factor, and take them in the car for every ride. If someones bike is creaking pre-ride, I can do anything up to a bottom bracket service or cassette change in the parking lot because I always have all my tools.

@puggirl415 4 жыл бұрын

I'm inspired by this project. I bought a knife roll that is waxed canvas and has a neat leather flap to protect the blades but seeing your 2 sided item I'm tempted to add some more fabric to mine at least to create the zipper bag. Love that. Maybe a second knife roll just for tools and simply roll it up inside the one I already have.

@Jameloaf 4 жыл бұрын

I love how simple and quick this project can be. I would use plastic sheathes on the knives while traveling. I like to keep my edges extra protected since it takes time carefully sharpening each one to keep their shape the same. I'm using the Messermeister sheathes.

Therefore i can only say very well done Sir.

@Anaerin 4 жыл бұрын

Personally, I would have thought arranging the items inside from thinnest to thickest would help, with the thinnest items being on the inside of the roll, so it rolls up tighter and more compactly. Also, having one pocket for each knife would stop them clanging and grinding against each other as they move. Still, that's me. You do you, Alex.

You should sew in sheaths for the blades. Too likely that over a time of handling, removing, reinserting, rolling, and unrolling that your blades are going to start knocking into each other. Doesn't have to be a re-enforced sheath just something that keeps the blades from bumping into each other. The other thing to consider is will this kit be taken to other kitchens that will things like spatulas/ladles/etc or to a pop up type place that you are expected to supply everything. If it is more the first you should consider bringing more preferred and commonly used specialty items.

Chefs only carry the knives because only the knives are personal and expensive. We don't carry peelers and spatulas because they stay in the kitchen; either because they are cheap and semi disposable or because they are owned by the restaurant. Aside from the knives (and shears) we usually only have a wine key, because wine.
