I have a ca. 80 year old slicing knife which I love. I'd call it one of my "good" knives. It's carbon steel, and I just retouched it with lemon juice to repair the wear of the edge guards I just replaced.

I'd like a such a chest, but I also travel with my knives a lot, and that's a lot to carry about. Maybe for storing them at home. Something to ponder when I am possessed of all the knives I think I need in the kitchen.
