Title: This bag is my new Sous Chef - Love It!
Review: SO... I am not sure where some of the other reviews are coming from. But this is my experience, and know that I am a dude who loves bags, and uses many and does research before I purchase things. This bag is a game changer for me, I work as an Executive Chef, which means I cook my ass off, but also have to be able to go to meetings, tastings, and work on menus, orders, social media, etc. I have to keep a lot of stuff on hand, and most of it can not live in my truck This bag allows for ALL of that.THE KNIFE CASE: Slides out, is decent quality, especially being it will mostly live inside the protection of the backpack. Also comes with a strap if you want to use just the knife case alone. I use some big knives (4), Small knives (4), Special Knives (2) and a bunch of small tools and there is still plenty of room for more in the case.THE BAG: Plenty of pockets for all your work and personal needs, I carry normally on hand my phone (Note 3 which is huge), Macbook with charger, recipe book, notebook, water bottle, phone charger, usb drives, 5 sharpies, 4 pens, calculator, order clipboard, pocket knife, and other office needs. and still there is plenty of room.OUTER POCKET/SLING: Attaches with clips, similar to Skateboard and Snowboard bags, its a pocket, but does not fully close, it attaches at the top with 2 clips. Holds for me, 2 Aprons, chef coat, jeans, shirt, boxers, socks. If needed, I have used the 2 water bottle slings (1 on each side) to slide my Clogs, or Street shoes, however, in the laptop section, if you slide shoes to the bottom, they will fit there as well.TOP HANDLE: It works as needed, I purchased one of those gel velcro ergonomic handles to attach to this. ($4). But it works as needed. The other straps for the sling work well too, I would adjust carefully because they are plastic, DO NOT YANK on them. and you will be fine. Zippers are smooth and strong, again, i would not pull and yank on them, but if you use this and take care of it, it will last.BOTTOM & BACK: Bottom of the bag is rubber/plastic lined to keep water out, I keep my bag away from danger as it has a ton of expensive stuff in it, plus the knife case comes out, so if needed you can just keep that close. BUT it is a nice feature. The back is padded, breathable mesh, with nice padded, embroidered and strong. Chest clip is nice to have, but I am a big dude, I do not use it.OVERALL: I love it! it is well worth the price, especially considering that the knife case, and a decent quality backpack would amount to how much this bag costs. At least this one is made by Mercer, they know knives, chefs, and it just makes sense. I like it way better than the Wusthof backpack, and that costs nearly $30+ more than this bag. It is nice quality for the price, looks great, very comfortable, utilitarian, and ergonomic in the right places. If you need an all around bag for work in & out of the kitchen, commuting, etc. BUY IT NOW!Product update: over a year later. 0 issues with this bag. Barely any wear and tear on it. No damage. Love it more and more as it breaks in.

Title: THIS IS THE BEST CHEF KIT/BAG FOR CHEFS EVERRRR!!!
Review: I have been in the food industry over 18 years and this is by FAR the best purchase I have ever made for my culinary career! I have been in search of the perfect bag for me, once I saw this I waited an entire year to purchase it because I wanted to compare and really look for the perfect bag for me. I have other chef friends that have similar bags to this one but different brands that I won’t name I order not to bash any company, but I will say this- this bag by far beats them all (for me and what I need it for of course), and for the money is a complete steal! Yes leather knife rolls are nice and whatnot, but for what I do and use it for (restaurant chef, caterer, private chef, traveling chef, small business owner) it works perfect. I have a military background as well and this bag has enough pockets and room to use it as a small ruck sack. It also comes with a knife case that hold up to 8-10 knives; my largest knife that I carry in it is a 10” chef knife and it fits it nicely. Anything longer would not fit. I also have a cleaver that I carry in it as well as serrated, pairing, santoku, Sakura, and a few others. It also has a mesh kit on the flap that folds over to protect the knives on both sides of kit. Very handy for peelers, cutting gloves, scissors, etc. I am happy I bought this and almost bought two just in case they ever run out. I will most likely go ahead and buy another just to be safe haha. All in all, this is hands down the best chef kit/bag on the market in my opinion. I need the room, I carry a laptop, small datebooks/planners, extra pair of socks, blender bottle, phone charger, first aid kit, tape, and a ton of other stuff (don’t judge lol, just always prepared) and it fits in there with ease. Chefs—-buy this bag and save your back and avoid having to carry a roll or kit...this thing can go anywhere!!

Title: Heavy- knife kit not thought out very well.
Review: If you are a Chef or Cook (and yes, there is a difference) than this may be a good choice for you. There are a couple of drawbacks about this product. Here are the Pros and Cons:Pros:* Good looking product. Well built, tight, strong stitching.* Plenty of pockets and room for everything from an extra chef coat to books and other Cheffy Stuff.* A very well balanced product when full.Cons:* The price. Way overpriced for what you get.* The knife kit is not very well thought out. When your knives are in it, they are not velcro secured, like most knives rolls will do. They will come out of the pockets. Also, the pockets that hold the small stuff are secured by only a small velcro tab, so they come out too.* With all of your knives, books, computer and other items, this back gets very heavy. Please take this into consideration before purchasing. How many knives do you bring into the kitchen? Is this a school purchase? If so, you will have many books as well. My backpack is so heavy I have to shell it around sometimes.

Title: best backpack, knife bag ever
Review: best backpack, knife bag ever. I have owned this bag for about a year now and the backpack still looks brand new despite that I take it everywhere and even had an incident where I had to use it as a bwarf bag on a public bus at 5 in the morning. The knife bag is also a amazing in how much of my tools it can hold. However, I place a lot of tools in this bag and the pockets for the knife handles have started to show wear; but this is still the best knife bag I have owned in terms of a bag holding a considerable amount of tools.I will likely buy the knife bag replacement in the future and continue to use the same backpack for many years to come.

Review: It is quite a good backpack for the most part. There's plently of space to fit all that one could desire in it. The major downside is that the threads on the left strap have completely unraveled and the strap has ultimately come off. So, now I have a broken bag and a hole in my wallet! Only had the bag for 2 months so it's pretty lame......
