Crook / Spoon knife storage

[Cypher2001]

How does everyone currently store their crook knife. I currently have no set plan other than wrapping it in a bit of stuff (leather/paper/etc). Something just to protect the edge (and everything else its stored with). I was looking for something more permanent.

Has anyone thought of a sheath for these knives? How are you storing them today? Ideas?

I am currently wrapping mine in a thick flannel and tieing it with string. Any suggestions welcome.

I improvised a sheath. I had a bit of bicycle innertube to hand (use it for stretching over knife handles, tinder etc.). Anyway, I stapled one end shut, pulled it over the blade and handle - tada blade safe, fingers safe. Seems to work

Store mine in a clear plastic tube thingy (similar to those available in a group buy for keeping knives in on here recently-sorry can't remember details). Mine came free with some ridiculously priced drills in it at work. Will keep an eye out for another for you if you like.

I use a bit of thin leather with a thong tied to it. Somewhere on the pics pages there was a wooden carved "case". I think it had a cover that swung over the side.

Some will fit neatly inside a spent shotgun cartridge.

Among others, I have the small crooked knife that you can get on the Ray Mears website (sorry name escapes me). This fits snugly into one of those plastic tubes of effevescent Vit C. tablets you can by from Tesco and the like.

I just wrap a strip of old, spare leather around the blade.

I found a length of large bore bamboo at B&Q, cut a piece to fit the knife into, blocked up one end and made a cap to fit the other. All I have to do now is sand it and varnish it.
