Storage for Straights

[SteveTheCanuck]

I saw this at a local antique market. Didn't buy it but like the idea. How do you store your straights?

 

[Silverirae]

I have an old humidor I have converted into straight storage. It can hold 12 or so. I may need more with the AD...

Cheap simple wooden test tube rack...

Out of curiosity how much were they asking for the box?

$ 95 was on the tag which means it would be more like $ 85 once negotiations done. I thought it was still a little high. Note-the straights inside it were trash.

If you feel up to the task you could likely make that box for about $30 assuming you already have a few woodworking tools.

Almost picked this up for $38 today. For straights or DE.

Kind of feel like I should go back for it.

I don't but I have a buddy who does and I have a case of beer so...

I stored my straights in silicone sleeves, and then in an old cigar box.

I betcha with proper negotiations you could get it down to about $70

Kennesaw cutlery knife holder... Replaced all the elastic straps with Velcro so it won't put too much pressure on the scales then lines the holders with silicon embedded cloth to help absorb moisture

4 of the 6... 2 more above the top of the image, with 2 more racks above that holding 4 DE handles and 2 more brushes.

+2, I have the roll version of this but I like the idea of using a velcro instead of the elastics!

Most of mine stay in this along with my EDC knives and stones. Got a smoking deal on it at a local flea market. Eyed one for a long time for work but just couldn't pull the trigger on one.

Those are awesome! Makes me want to try out a Kami again.

I've done both of those.
Alembic case for some and an old cigar box with foam and felt for my grandfather's razors.

Can an alembic case be set up for use with a Kamisori?
