Steps In Making Leather Knife Roll Made Simple

By Daniel Wilson


Chefs or chefs at heart really love knives. It is because they are used in most food preparations. In fact, they bring these knives almost everywhere.

Since the knives are sharp objects, they need to be kept somewhere safe and discreet. The chefs carry with them a bag that is called leather knife roll. This is mainly used to keep sharp kitchen objects like knives. They can be bought from kitchenware stores or online shops. But, you can make it on your own, as long you got the necessary tools. Actually, it is simpler. The next paragraphs will enumerate and explain briefly and concisely.

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.

After measuring the areas, the next thing to do is to search for leather or straps. You can either search online or shop on stores. If you want to buy them online, send to them a photo of your layout in order for the seller to provide you further assistance or bring a drawing of your layout if you are planning to go personally to a store. Either way, they help you explain to them about a knife roll that you will be making. You will always be provided a suitable type to use. In choosing one, take note that its size should be exceeded by four hundred percent.

Preparation of the basic but needed materials. These supplies include, but not limited to, the sewing needles, glue, or mallet. You may opt to choose and use materials and supplies not commonly used by professional makers or experts.

Make an outline of a cowhide and cut it on. This is not directly done on the leather. Instead, a kraft paper is used at this point. Place the cowhide on top and trace it using a marker. Using scissors or cutter cut it out according to the traced shape.

Finalize its layout or design. Before that, makes some adjustments on it using the mockup copy. You can also arrange the knives to see if they are good enough.

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.

To assure of security and prevent it to be damaged at early times of usage, make sure that it is properly sewed and glued. Finalize everything. Before doing so, make sure that the knives are properly placed. Make some adjustments on the design if there is any. Speaking of glue, leather glue is much preferred in this case but if you want to use an ordinary, it may be acceptable.
