Using your Boldric BOCKR109 knife bag is a breeze. First, unroll the bag and place your knives, cutlery, and utensils into the 9 pockets. Make sure longer knives fit into the appropriate slots. You can use the zippered utility pocket for smaller items like sharpening tools. Adjust the canvas shoulder strap to your comfort level for easy carrying. When it comes to maintenance, keep the bag dry. If it gets dirty, gently wipe the canvas with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the water buffalo leather details and the polished brass buckles and snaps. Also, be careful when inserting and removing knives to prevent any damage to the bag's interior.
