Knife rolls keep chef's knives, peelers and tools separated in individual slots and protect the blades in transit. Culinary institutes issue them to students, and kitchenware brands sell them as private-label accessories.
They are mainly bought by colleges & universities, hotels & resorts, restaurants & food outlets, retailers and private label businesses, for tool storage & field service.
