When it comes to storage and protection for culinary or craft tools, the knife roll you choose is critical. One of the most popular materials in the marketplace, canvas; and another material that cannot be ignored: leather--both have their own strengths. But which one really offers the best protection for your precious tools? After crafting and evaluating both with Leathershire we have concluded.
Leather Outlasts Canvas
Light and flexible, canvas knife rolls are easily torn. Full-grain leather knife rolls made by Leathershire, on the other hand, don't wear away as fast and can do the wear-long well. A natural layer of moisture resistance, with abrasion and tear resistance has been dyed into the whole-grain leather. That makes it able to prosper in field work and constant travel.
Padding and Structure Matter
In a canvas roll quite often there is not the firmness of structure that will stop knives from moving back and forth or coming into contact. A knife roll with leather padding and ergonomic design imparts the strength of the various pockets for one to be safe from all the others. Too, this stops pokes by knives right through the fabric which tends to happen over time if too much use and too many bumps are received by canvas rolls.
Weight and Portability
On mobility canvas knife rolls score better. Much lighter and more malleable, those canvas ones are easier to tote or stow. If you only need a light one for a short period of time or to travel with occasionally, then canvas may be ok. But if you are a professional, the additional weight of leather does pay off in protection.
Aesthetic and Professional Appeal
To anybody a leather knife roll has not only the traditional rough beauty but also gradually develops patina which adds charm with age. Although canvas rolls can boast of fashionable styles they fall short of the same level of high-grade dignity, especially in professional kitchens or design studios.
Maintenance and Longevity
While canvas can be cleaned more easily, it also wears out sooner and may require replacement every few years. Leathershire’s knife rolls on the other hand--especially those made by Leathershire--are understandably designed to be used for decades (although the expression says that they should be used as little there is going to replace your a couple times if you take care of them properly!) Quick conditioning every few months and they look new again.
Final Verdict
A canvas knife roll might be just what an amateur cook needs, but serious professionals require a leather knife roll from Leathershire that provides the best protection, longevity, and professional look.
