Planning a move? Transporting sharp kitchen knives safely is essential to avoid injuries, especially with larger blades.
Fortunately, there's a quick, effective DIY method using everyday items to protect the blades—no special gear required.
This trick, trusted by countless movers, keeps your knives secure and your hands safe.
Protect the knife blade by sliding it into an empty toilet paper roll and securing it with a rubber band. Here's how:
1. Grab an empty toilet paper roll.
2. Insert the knife blade through the roll.
3. Secure the roll in place with a rubber band.
4. If the blade sticks out, use two rolls for full coverage.
Your knives are now fully protected and ready for packing in a box—risk-free!
Simple, fast, and foolproof. Far better than the chance of cuts or damaged blades during transit.
No toilet paper roll? No problem. Wrap blades in newspaper secured with tape, use a shipping tube, or repurpose empty cereal boxes for padding.
