I don't want something heavy/bulky like leather. I wonder what the lightest but most abrassion resistant material is?
tricky question; there's some super-light cuben fibre/Dyneema/aramid-fibre stuff which is technically highly abrasion resistant, but prone to punctures. Plus it's so light, anything dense jiggles about, and needs securing. I'd say you need a mix of a fabric with a bit of body to it, the durability, plus stability.
Skinny has a good point too about something big enough (and light coloured!) to lay parts/equipment on while fixing, so you don't leave anything behind.
Insane idea would be a dynema wallet thing with inflatable section; lash the roll onto the bike, few pumps and it makes it super secure and stops tools rattling....
Chopsicle-
so you don't leave anything behind.
I've never left anything behind, except, ironically, my glasses :)
Oh, and that one time my Gore shorts blew off a balcony in TransAm (I suspect).What about courier bag material, 1000D Cordura or similar? That's pretty tough and can be all kinds of colours. Actually, I just remembered I have a PAC tool bag from one of my courier bags I've never used. I think it's a bit big but might be a nice starting point.

Can I leave the knives in?

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