Mercer Innovations 17-Pocket Knife Case



Good case – check for sewing defects

Overall I really like this case. It’s sturdy and has lots of pockets, but it’s not too big.

I do suggest getting blade sleeves of some kind, making sure they do not pull off easily when you grasp the knives to slide them out.


One caveat:

When you get it, double-check the elastic on the pockets and the sewing. My first one had one serious defect so that one knife pocket’s elastic top edge was so tight, you could not get anything out of it without risking ripping something. For me, that meant that when you pulled the knife out, by the 3rd or so time, the place where one side of that pocket was attached to the back ripped, creating a hole in the back fabric. Luckily, I discovered this before I used any of the knives in the kit, so I was able to exchange the whole kit for a new one. I double-checked all of the pockets of the replacement before accepting it.


I’m crafty, but I would not try to fix that kind of a defect in sewing/construction myself. You want…

my fiancé had a bag similar to this and was excited to find this affordable bag online and is very pleased with it

Global GS-9 – 3 inch, 8cm Serrated Tomato Knife

Incredible Knife, Just Too Short for my Tomato I am a big fan of Global knives. They are wonderfully balanced, expertly sharp, and heaven to hold. This knife is no exception. I have quite a collection, myself. However, to call this knife a "Tomato Knife," at only 3inches long, is nuts in my book; that is, of course, unless you’re talking about cherry tomatoes! The knife does glide through the skin effortlessly, as another has said, and the meat of the tomato is certainly not a challenge for the knife, either. But it’s so short that the knife can get hung-up down in the tomato when you’re trying to cut through. I wondered about this, but I purchased it anyway. It’s great on avacados: if you use it to cut them in half the long way, and then use the back of the knife to cross-cut the insides of the halves, then turn the halves inside out, and scrape out the little squares of the avacado meat. But if you really want a great serrated knife that’s long enough to cut through tomato...

Shun Ken Onion 7-Inch Cleaver

Chop I’ve wanted a nice cleaver since I saw the Mortal Kombat character ‘Meat’ hacking away at his foes with a sweet pair of them, or was it the Swedish Chef recklessly flailing away in the kitchen on the Muppet Show in the mid 70′s? Anywho. Due to a youthful affinity for the tool paired with the occasional lite butchery I’ve been doing from watching too much of the ‘Food Network’, i felt it was time to invest in a piece that was sturdy, functional & decorative. The Shun Ken Onion Cleaver does not disappoint on any of these criteria. It’s like having one of those decorative battle-axes or Harry Potter swords on the wall that is actually functionally useful for cooking. It easily dispenses with meats, is well balanced, sharp & ergonomically feels like an extension of your hand. When the zombie apocalypse comes to wipe out humanity, I have no doubt that my Shun Ken Onion Cleaver will be a highly effective tool when close range combat becomes a necessity. Practical art! This is m...
