Have a proper labelling of your drawers? If not I would advise to make some. Are you using excel for your list? What does your list includes? -----------------------------Stalking RT
Ah, that sounds quite neat. At work we use a lot of excel lists and some of them are updated every hour or so. How about adding the columns year of release/model year and year of purchase? -----------------------------Stalking RT
You always can use a bigger sheet of paper, if you're not already using A3 sheets. I would offer you to print it in up to A0 for you, but I fear the shipping will costs too much! -----------------------------Stalking RT

I use regular 8"x11" paper, which is common, works well in my printer (or at FedEx for a large job), and can go in a standard loose-leaf note book.

I go with what's simple and works for me.
But inch isn't simple! At least for a German... ^_^-----------------------------Stalking RT

And doing it every 15 years saved you a lot of work in the mean time.
Also need to reorganize a half-dozen trays so I can find stuff easier. The things we do in the name of 'Fun'.
Going through something similar. I used to have all of my 84mm and 91mm knives together organized by # of layers then age. Outgrew my storage and decided to split the 84mm and 91mm and organize by model instead of # layers. It's made things easier to find but still things get lost. Found my early 1950s Tinker Small in the "for sale" pile . Bought new Bisley cabinets from the Container Store. These are very nice, well made cabinets from the UK (despite which they seem to leak almost no oil). Since I wasn't mixing the 84mm and 91mm together anymore, I could make dividers in the new cabinets more "84mm specific" - see below on the left. Now I can get 28 knives per drawer and, IMO, in a much better arrangement than the 91mm dividers (right). Here on the left are 84mm Tourists from 1905 - present and on the right 91mm Huntsmen from 1905 - 1962. (Image removed from quote.)

Very nice organizers, jazzbass. One question though. Left drawer, first row, second from the right. Is that an bail at the top rivet? Don't remember seeing something like that on a SAK before.
ColoSwiss, if you haven't already, you could turn your pages to landscape mode, so as to print the spreadsheet sideways, and gain a lot of space for additional columns at the same font size. Just a thought.
