Various cases, pockets, and pouches – both tactical and for tourism – exist in a wide range. Some are universal, others somewhat specialized. The second category includes cases specifically designed for knives and multitools.
A knife or multitool case is a piece of equipment with a tactical overlap. It can be attached to a belt, a tactical vest, but also to a leg or forearm. It can be made from various materials whose specifics you will appreciate in particular situations. As for securing the knife or multitool, it can be held in the case by its own weight, secured with a lock, or clamped with a self-locking sheath.
In the category of knife and multitool cases, you will mainly find cases for folding knives, which are covered with a flap. Occasionally, you may find cases for other types of knives (including those with fixed blades), even in multiple pieces. Regarding attachment, you can choose from MOLLE/PALS webbing, belt loops, or combinations of both.
Knife and multitool cases are simply practical accessories, ensuring you no longer have to carry your precious tool tossed somewhere in your backpack. They fasten either with a buckle, Velcro, or both. You can choose according to what you find easier to work with. Some cases also feature an external velcro panel, allowing you to attach either a patch or, in the case of larger cases, even extra inserts.
