I've been tired of my knives taking up shelf space so I started looking at different storage options. Of everything I looked at I never found anything I liked because many were out of my price range, some were for show, and the rest seemed more for long term storage.

I wanted something that would keep my knives neat, out of the way, and offer easy access for me. I have to carry different EDC knives based on if I'm at class, work, or out and about.

I figured I needed to find a thin metal bar that I could mount horizontally on a board. With the bar mounted I could hang my folding knives by their pocket clips and hang some fixed blades by their sheaths. I might also add some hooks to it so I can hang my SAK, Micra, and other assorted knives/tools.

1. I pulled the metal bar out of an old filing cabinet my office was throwing out
2. Grabbed a 1.5X.75 inch board for Lowes, some screws, and some washers to use as spacers.

Now I just need to figure out how/where I want to mount my new rack. Total cost for this project was about $7.

Nice work! Too many Spydercos though, you need a few more BM's to balance it out. Wink

What a great idea! You thought about making some for sale?

You have a good choice in Knives! I like Spyderco's and Bechmades a lot as well. The H1 Salt is a great knife for a salt water environment. I have tried but I can't make mine rust at all! Nice replacement grips on the Becker as well. Looks like a BK-7 which is what I have. Do you think the the Micarta grips are worth the cost? Do they make the grip more secure and comfortable?

Never thought of that. It took me weeks to find the right metal bar for this task.

I dont ever see myself making and selling these.

It's a BK-9 and yes the micarta scales are amazing! They feel better and are much more grippy than the stock (slick) givory scales.

I will buy another set of micarta scales for my BK-2. I highly recommend getting a set.
