Seeing as the weather is crappy out today (Where did spring go? Snowing blah blah blah), I decided to cheer myself a little by taking one of those whole collection snapshots. I haven't done one of these in a while.
I will go down drawer by drawer and show you my collection.
I store my collection in my bedroom simply because I had the most space there. My collection resides in 5 storage units most from Craftsman because it was the only series that maximized drawer space by having so many shallow drawers. As the collection grew, I was forced to find better storage solutions and landed on these units. So far, they have worked excellently in keeping most of it all together. I first started with a chest and cabinet, then upgraded to a second when space ran out. Now I expanded into a third unit of the same manufacture (not a Sears Craftsman labeled unit) to keep everything looking like it belonged together.
Here is a closeup of the two cabinet and chest sets side by side. You can see that there are plenty of shallow drawers here...which is perfect to show off shallow items like multi-tools and Swiss Army Knives.
Let's start on the left unit going top to bottom.
At the very top, I have a mixed lot of items here, mostly multi-tool related.
One level down, 3 seperate drawers containing a nice mix of multi-tool related items. On the left is my meager Buck collection, center contains lots of mixed multi-tools, and the left resides most of my Schrade items along with a few other multi-tools.
Next level down comprises of two separate drawers. This one contains generic Ganzo type MTs with a few others thrown in for good measure.
This next drawer contains all of my generic key-chain MTs.
