I expect most of us are familiar with tool rolls to hold such things as chisels, auger bits etc.. Recently we inquired of our daughter's partner what our daughter would like for Xmas. Our daughter has always been difficult regarding presents as she is distinctly minimalist and rails against material possessions. While that stance has eased a little in recent years, it is still an issue. However, it appeared that cheese and paté knives were a definite possibility. I don't really know what to call them"Platter knives?" I ended up with a couple of cheese knives, a butter knife and a paté knife.

Originally I was going to make a box for the knives, but SWMBO came up with the soft tool roll idea and that allowed her to contribute too. This also enables the knives to be taken to other venues such as picnics more easily.

There is one space left as I was talking with a friend and he mentioned that a small hatchet was useful for cutting harder cheeses so I will make that up too, but won't be able to get it organised in time for the day.
The metal is all from scrap stainless steel I had lying around. The timber is a combination of Bull Oak and Hairy Oak. The handles are finished in gloss varnish. The roll material is denim with bound edges.
