Traveler's leather kitchen knife roll, December 16, 2009
Boy, can I procrastinate! "X" commissioned me to design a Christmas present for "A" way last summer and I finally finished it and shipped it today (FedEx, don't fail me now!).
She wanted to present him with a custom fitted leather knife roll for the favorite kitchen knives he travels with. Most knife rolls on the market do a lousy job of separating and protecting the blades from nicking one another and I wanted something better. This turned out to be a tricky assignment and it took me forever to come up with a design that satisfied me.
I set up a new group of pages to describe some of my leatherworking projects - the first up being Traveler's Leather Kitchen Knife Roll about this knife roll.

Normal Damage
Personally, I've never been normal. But what I've only recently discovered is how much damage being made to feel I should be has done over the years. This is a revelation of the highest order and unspeakably liberating, once you've processed the accumulated side-effects.
