"I love my new leather knife roll! Everyone loves it. I had been searching for a couple of years for a unique roll, and this is perfect. Custom made to my specifications and my needs. Steve was an absolute pleasure to work with. He maintained good communication throughout the process and kept me apprised with progress reports to ensure that I got exactly what I wanted. The beautiful leather and fine craftsmanship make my bag the envy of all chefs and knife enthusiasts. I highly recommend it. "

It is both beautiful and practical and has become an indispensable accompaniment to our tools."

Steve-
Thank you the knife roll. It is a show stopper, everyone comments on it. I was professional chef and now work in food sales. I had to become portable, a knife roll was my answer but your custom knife roll is fantastic. Great feel and look, hand made to tough and functional. This is a knife roll that is worth every penny and will surely last as long I could want. In the year I have had my knife roll I have utilized it numerous times and feel proud to keep my "tools of the trade" in something as unique and professional as your knife. Thanks Steve. Good luck and enjoy life!

The knife roll is better than I hoped for. The leather is beautiful, the craftsmanship is excellent, and Steve was great about putting the custom touches I wanted into it to make the roll unique. I look forward to using it for years to come....

I love the knife roll. It was great being able to get it custom made to the knives that I need in it. I was a bit concerned at first about how nice it looked, but after a few months of throwing it around and spilling sauces and oils on it, it looks awesome and its softened up a bit. It's super durable and will last a long time. It could possibly be the last knife roll I ever need. I've given out you're number to quite a few people who've asked about the kit, you deserve the business. Thanks a ton.

"Ive been on the hunt for a leather knife roll for years. A late night Google image search landed me on Steve's site and I was blown away.
Exactly what I had been searching for, a handcrafted handsome leather knife roll. As a food stylist I'm always on the go, working in kitchens around the world and in desperate need of a knife roll that would keep my tools safe. One email later the process started, and I literally had the custom made knife roll a few days later.A perfect fit .
A solidly built handcrafted work of art.
Thanks again."

Dear Steve and your Customers,
A master craftsman, and a genuine pleasure to work with!
When I received my first roll I was blown away. I immediately asked him to craft another roll for my bonsai tools, hunting knives, and for a friend. He uses premium leather and high quality brass rivets thoughtfully placing the tools/knives so that they roll up in a functional and protective manner.
Steve took the time to make sure every aspect of my multiple rolls was precisely how I wanted them. He added a personal touch and attention to detail that was priceless.
I have sampled multiple household brands looking for the perfect knife roll or case, and none of them have satisfied. This roll not only protects my knives, it creates a mobile work platform that displays my tools artfully and functionally.
Each piece he prepared for me was a work of art that I feel confident I will pass down to my grandchildren along with the heirlooms they contain.
Thank you for your craftsmanship and attention to detail. I truly appreciate your work, but I am more thankful for your friendship.
Sincerely,
Richard T. Arkwright III

I love my handmade knife roll! Its incredibly unique and a very stylish way to look after my knives and equipment. The craftsmanship and quality of leather are excellent and it was an absolute pleasure to work with Steve. I was able to design and create my own knife roll over the internet and have it sent all the way to New Zealand! Thanks again!

Hi Steve ...
My knife roll is the envy of all of my co-workers and professional friends, I definitely given out your cards and information to everyone I know. I couldn’t be happier with my knife roll. The tool pouch design is genius, I really appreciate that. It fits my recipe journal, measuring spoons, needle nose tweezers, its perfect and the snap in design is really great. I'll be pushing co-workers in your direction for years to come and I hope I can provide you with some business. Postings on KF and Foodie forums to come soon. I really like what you’re doing for the professional community and hope you keep working for years to come.
Best wishes
