Custom Case for 56 knives based on Peli 1485

Compact and Organised: Professional Case for 56 Folding Knives

A serious knife collection deserves serious protection. Whether you're heading to a knife fair, transporting dealer inventory, or simply tired of blades rolling around loosely — this custom-configured case brings order, safety, and a level of professionalism that makes every presentation count.

Peli 1485 as the Foundation

At its core, this case is built on the Peli 1485 platform — a compact hardshell enclosure from the Peli Air series, engineered to survive luggage carousels, outdoor environments, and the kind of everyday rough handling that destroys ordinary cases. The black exterior shell is waterproof to IP67, dustproof, and fitted with an automatic pressure-equalisation valve, so the case seals reliably at any altitude or humidity level.

Despite the protection level, the Peli Air series runs lighter than traditional Peli cases — a distinction you'll notice immediately when carrying a full load of 56 knives. The 1485 dimensions also qualify as airline carry-on baggage on most carriers, which matters when your collection travels with you to shows and exhibitions.

56 Knives, Zero Compromise on Organisation

The interior is fitted with a precision-cut foam insert divided into 56 individual upright compartments, each measuring 140 × 20 × 50 mm. This sizing accommodates the vast majority of standard folding knives stored upright — blade down, handle up — giving you immediate visual access to every piece without digging or repositioning.

No knife touches another. No blade contact means no scratches to handles, no dulled edges from vibration, and no marks to collector-grade finishes. Open the lid and your entire collection is visible, sorted and identifiable at a glance — whether you're running inventory in the field or displaying pieces to a buyer.

The foam insert is available in four colours: Blue, Yellow, Red, and Green.
