Pros: None
Cons: Overall Quality, Extra Spaces
Great on the outside, does not hold 18 ZT knives on the inside
I use this product to hold my Zero Tolerance collection, many of which I purchased right here at KnifeCenter. I am disappointed in the quality and described characteristics of this bag. I'll start by saying this is a 14 knife bag, not 18 as described. You have 5 full size sleeves on the the top and bottom when opened. These perform as expected. The disappointment comes in the middle partition. This piece is needlessly smaller than the front or back. The front and back of this middle partition has slots for 8 more knives in total. 5 + 5 + 4 + 4 = 18 slots in total. The issue is that you cannot place knives in opposing pockets in the middle partition, so really, you are losing out on 4 slots. The pockets, and stitching between was unnecessarily tight, so that when you insert a knife in a pocket, it tightens the material on the opposing side to where you cannot fit anything in it. This middle portion is attached via hook-and-loop, so there is no reason this deficiency has not been addressed. I bought this ZT branded bag to hold ZT knives...almost all of which are "chunky"...which I love. The middle portion looks like it was sized for small slip-join knives, though if you used it for that purpose, they'd be so deep down in the pocket as to be nearly impossible to pull out without a lanyard.
