I’ve tried:- plastic toolboxes of various sizes, easy to cramp in lots of stuff in a small package, but too disorganised for me (things never go back into the same spot ever).- various generic soft nylon cases and rolls, I prefer soft cases over hard backed ones as they flex and conform over variations of equipment loadups.

I’m into soft knife rolls. I store my knives blade down into the slots as I can ’stack’ multiple knives into one slot instead limiting myself to one handle taking up one slot, and on my favourite wide slot (no elastic) knife roll and I can stack up to 3-4 items a slot (for example petty+offset palate knife+bread knife+ruler).As mentioned earlier I like soft cases because they conform to different loadups, if I only packed as 5 knives and tools into my 11-slot roll the roll would be flat and compact; but with a 20-30 item loadup it becomes a bazooka. I doubt 30 tools can fit into a hard backed 12-slotter because it can’t flex around the overload.

As with any tool box/case/roll (without knife holders like for example those with them are Messermeister attache cases or Victorinox plastic case), almost every sharp or non-serrated knife must have a edge guards, plastic sheaths, wooden or DIY cardboard sayas.It’s not worth the risk getting cut trying to get out or put away knives, and dulling your knives as they knock about during transit.

I personally am looking to upgrade to a Koobi Kit in the near future to replace my knife rolls as it has a neat, organised design with a generous number of slots to carry knife-shaped/sized objects and the important clear-view three pockets to hold and organise all the other bits and pieces. For me it excels on balance between knives and other tools, for size, build and price.

Maybe someday down the line if my job really needs more bits and pieces, the Global G-667/PRO knife case is definitely an option. It’s got lots of little organising features to keep me happy, the increase in size is a tiny bit big for what I’m allowed at the moment.

Happy hauling.
