How to Choose the Perfect Knife Roll: A Chef’s Essential Guide
Almost all professional chefs have a set of tools that they never part with, whether at work, on field orders, or on business trips. And what do you think, they are simply thrown into a bag like the weapons of gangsters in movies? No, there are special bags for such purposes - knife rolls. Why a roll and not a case or a bag? Because in a roll, knives can be tightly folded and stored conveniently. You did not ask me, but I will tell you how to choose and use a roll. You did not get to this page by accident, perhaps you were looking for a knife roll for yourself, or maybe you were looking for a gift for a chef friend, or I was extremely lucky, and you are looking for a corporate gift (write to me urgently, we will discuss everything)
WHAT IS A CHEF'S KNIFE ROLL
In appearance, it is a bag-cover that can be unfolded and folded. Inside there are pockets in which blades and other chef's tools are inserted. When assembled, the bag is closed with straps on buckles. They are metal, but once we had an order for bags for cruise ships, and we made bags without metal parts. So, if you are going to travel a lot at sea with your tools, write to moms before buying and we will make a special offer for you. If necessary, the roll quickly opens and all the tools are freely accessible. So, I will list why rolling is good:
• compact storage - the knives lie close to each other and do not take up much space; • care for the blades - each blade is in a separate pocket, does not touch other products, does not scratch or dull; • visibility - when unfolded, all the knives are visible in individual cells, it is easy to find the right tool and get it out if necessary; • safety - the knives are fixed in the roll, do not fall out, do not injure the owner when carrying. • And the knife roll also looks unusual
We make twists in most cases from leather and a little less often from canvas and leather. Why genuine leather? Because, firstly, it is beautiful, secondly, it is durable and most importantly, it preserves nature. If the third point surprised you a little, I will explain: skins appear constantly (we eat constantly) and are used, and are not thrown away to the delight of flies and worms. But the production of artificial materials has a huge footprint after oil extraction, its processing and the manufacture of polymers, while water is polluted very much, and in the modern world, clean water is about to become more expensive than oil.
ROll FOR KNIVES: TYPES
1. Genuine leather. The most reliable and respectable option. With proper care (See my article on leather care) it serves for years. Most often we make twists from leather called crazy horse. It looks vintage, if a scratch appears it looks stylish, over time it acquires a noble abrasion.
2. Canvas and leather. The bag is lighter. It also looks stylish. More affordable and unpretentious material. Such a product is intended for long-term storage and transportation.
We make twists with a capacity of 2 to 12 knives. More pockets are of course possible, we will make as many pockets as you need for your collection of tools
Additional accessories, such as a shoulder handle or a pocket for small items are in our models, if you need to add, for example, magnetic holders for large knives, or additional pockets for tweezers and spoons, or whatever you want, write, we will discuss and do
A chef's bag can be an excellent gift option for a professional chef. Depending on the material of manufacture, capacity, additional elements, the price of the product also changes.
