Bark tanning leaves the hide firm, so it takes a stamp and keeps it, and it darkens as it is handled. The brown here will be deeper in a year, and the pockets you reach for most get there first. The tooling is a stamped basket weave with a stamped border. Basket weave is one tool struck in rows across damp leather, moved along by eye, so the rows run true without looking machine made. The border goes on last.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is made\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe panel is cut in one piece. The pocket panel is cut to match, set against it, and stitched down in divisions to make six. Every line is sewn by hand with cream thread, two needles through one hole, so a cut stitch stays put rather than running. The raw edges are burnished dark, rubbed with water and friction until they go hard and stop fuzzing. There is no metal on it anywhere. The closure is a leather tie strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is used\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLay it flat, put a blade in each pocket with the handle out, then roll from one end and tie it. It rolls out to 20 inches by 13 inches and takes blades up to 10 inches, six of them. Rolled up it goes in a bag, which a block on the counter cannot do. Six is the honest number, and a seventh knife stays loose in a drawer at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho it suits\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is for people who own more knives than a block holds and move them about.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCooks who bring their own knives elsewhere\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAnyone with loose blades in a drawer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePeople who want the set out on a bench\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuyers with six good knives and no seventh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat comes in the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe hand tooled leather knife roll\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIts leather tie strap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA care card\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo knives.

The grain runs its own way and old marks show through the stamping. The weave is struck by hand, row by row, so the count across the front shifts from one roll to the next. Yours will not match the photograph.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eLooking after it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKnives go in dry. Steel left in damp leather pits, and a roll holds that damp against six blades instead of one. Keep it out of standing water. If it gets wet, open it out and dry it slowly somewhere cool, never on a radiator or in an oven. Feed it with a leather conditioner once or twice a year. Sharpening is covered on our \u003ca href=\"\/pages\/knife-care-sharpening\"\u003ecare and sharpening page\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePut a name on it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eInitials are stamped into the leather rather than lasered. A steel letter stamp is struck into damp hide. It is 20 dollars per piece and around 20 characters fits. We send a proof image first, because a stamp cannot be taken back out. It adds 3 to 5 business days, and it is free on orders of 10 or more.
