Can I leave the knives in?

I don't want something heavy/bulky like leather. I wonder what the lightest but most abrassion resistant material is? Where's @Chopsicle when you need him? :)

I could just find another thick plastic shopping bag. Reduce Reuse Recycle

I use 1L dry bags for this sort of thing, though I'm not doing anything as gooch-destroying as you. For audax/touring I have two: one with medical-adjacent stuff in and one with tools that are additional to my normal ride tools

Yeah, I've done this too, with Ultralight S2S bags that have holed. Maybe I should see if they do their "big river" more durable version in 1L. I still don't like the roll top buckles closures that much but I guess they'd be waterproof at least (if new) unlike my plastic bag solution.
