Built by Ultimate Edge, this 17 Piece Knife Case almost qualifies as genuine luggage. Still built in a tool roll style, the 17 Piece Case includes reinforcement panels in the folding sections of the case to keep something solid between your cutlery and the outside world.
Three fabric-hinged sections unfold easily when you release the buckle fasteners in front. Fold-over protector panels cover each section and fasten in place with Velcro closures at the corners. Reinforced pockets are built as strong as the rest of the case, with elasticized covers to stop blades from shifting. On the inside face of the liner panels, you’ll find additional storage pockets for odds and ends, gadgets, and personal items. A mesh pocket for tools like thermometers and a zippered moisture proof pocket for important notebooks are both included, and there’s loop storage for pen and pencil and a storage slot for business cards. A second card pocket with clear plastic panel serves as an ID tag on the outside of the case.
The external layer of the Ultimate Edge is durable 600-denier polyester fabric. If the case picks up dirt while traveling or gets splashed with sauces in the kitchen, wipe it down with a sanitizing cloth for quick cleanup. The exterior repels both dirt and moisture.
The briefcase-style handle is comfortable and securely mounted to the case, but you’ll find the wide padded shoulder strap more convenient on that long run to the check-in counter. The strap comes with the bag and clips easily on and off the metal D-rings built into the top of the case. Ultimate Edge backs this case up with a limited lifetime warranty. It’s professionally built and has a professional look.
