Really good bag

I’m really enjoying this new bag I got for holding my knife collection. Thanks Knife Center for your great service. It actually came early. Bag is very well made and has plenty of room for my knives. The slots hold securely and keeps everything safe. I really like the size of the bag as it makes it easy to transport my knives to show them off.

Kershaw Knife Storage Bag

First the bad--the middle pocket doesn't have enough room put mid-large folders on both sides if the outside pockets are full too. I'd identified this issue from other reviews so it was not unexpected and I bought it with "eyes open". For that reason, I'm still rating this bag as excellent. Very compact size for the number of knives I can put into it and even though you can't use both sides of the middle "page" for knives, that does allow room for some belt sheaths. It is well padded and the knives are very well protected from each other. Appears very well put together so I expect good durability. When I need another one, I will definitely purchase another one of these because I like the compact size.

Great knife bag!

I have this one and the slightly smaller Schrade / Old Timer / Imperial bag which is more cheaply made in every respect. Get this Kershaw bag and you'll love it. I'm getting another one. I like that it expands when you pack it full. It expands to about 3-1/2" to 4" wide when packed full. Has great padding, handles and zippers. Well padded. Measures 12-1/2" x 8" x 3-1/2". The Velcro removable center divider has eight pockets for thin folders but only if they are super thin. I only put four thin folders on one side leaving the other side empty because those opposing four pockets are now pretty narrow. Only my little finger can get in there. Having only four in the center divider provides more protection to the folders on the other side of the main bag. I only put a total of 14 (medium and large) folders in the bag along with a separate six count Sackups brand soft knife holder which just lays next to the center divider. It serves as additional padding because I insert all folders with the pocket clip facing out. The Sackups keep the clips from scarring other knives. There is still room for another six count Sackups bag on the other side and I could still zip it up. This is a great bag.

Perfect for my needs

I just received this new bag today from knife center and Kershaw. I really like it. Holds my knives securely and has plenty of room for even larger knives. My Kershaw Natrix fits perfectly. Definitely worth the money. Highly recommended for anyone who needs to keep their collection organized.

THIS is the one. Serious bargain.

Available under various badgings, this is good and relatively inexpensive storage solution. IT opens clam-shell style. Each side has 5 pockets, and there is a double-sided pocked insert in the middle. The pockets accomodate "REAL" folders. I have my Buck 110's in there. It easily swallowed my beefy ZT 0300, and even a Mantis Chaos with no problem. The pockets are decent quality nylon. They are not lined, but the whole case and the double-sided insert is padded internally. Pros: Efficient and safe storage at a reasonable price. The INSIDE of the outter shell seems to be impregnated with some vapor / moisture proof material. (rubber, silicon, vinyl?) It would be a REAL good idea to throw a silica gel packet in there prior to storage to further protect your investment. Cons: This is nit-picking, as I LIKE these bags, and recommend them. That being the case... The nylon material could be a tad beefier, ditto the zippers, but they are not in any way insufficient for the task. Final Thought: Infamous YouTube Knife reviewer "NutnFancy" has a full video reiew on this pouch. Worth a look if you want more details. -Berk

Good Quality Great Price

Wanted some way to store my better folding knives in a way that I could see them but protect them as well. Material and zipper seem to be very heavy duty and well made. Very satisfied with the quality and the price.

This bag does what it was intended for. I like this bag because it can hold a lot of knives and keeps them securely in place. If you need a storage bag for your knives then is the one especially for the price they're selling it can't beat that.

Great Little Knife Bag

I was looking for a compact way to store about a dozen knives. I'm glad I bought it. The main side slots are perfect--you can get 10 SMF-size knives in those easily. The center slots get tight if you try to fill each one, though. I'm not the first to comment on the tight removable center pouch. I would give the bag a "5" if it allowed for a larger knife in each center slot. Perhaps a design with 6 or 7 staggered center slots would be better than the one with 8, back-to-back... My wife says she'll sew one up in a jiffy, so no worries for me! The overall design keeps the knives from touching, so you can be confident they won't damage each other. It's made from quality ballistic nylon, and everything stores in a neat, compact space. Plus, you can't beat the reasonable cost; its' well worth it!

Tight Fit for Full-Sized Folders

The one thing great about this storage bag is that's it's affordable but you get what you pay for. The outside fabric is thin, zipper is light-weight and the individual compartments for the folders can get tight for large or thick folders. Still, if the use is just to keep your folders together, this bag will do the job.

Pretty nice bag

This is a pretty nice bag. Each side has 5 wide slots for fairly large knives (ie ZT 0200ST, ZT 0560BLK, CRKT Folding Razel, Cold Steel Recon 1) and a middle flap with 4 more slender pockets on each side for medium-large knives. The middle flap is the biggest issue. Unless you have small knives there isn't enough room to fit a knife on both sides of the flap. This means the middle flap only holds 4 medium or larger knives, which stinks. Now the bag itself is quite spacious. I hold a belt sheath for my large folders and my Sentry Solutions kit inside, along with the 14 knives in there. It's so spacious that they could've put 2 4-pocket flaps in the middle and I could still hold a belt sheath and knife care kit. Ah, if only... Pros: Well-made, spacious, holds knives securely Cons: Middle flap storage is too tight for using both sides Overall: nice bag, especially for the price, but middle flap needs to be remedied for better capacity.
