JDKelleyTo share some insight as to why there are not drawers: We wanted to keep it relatively compact and without added cost for people who don't want so much space, but we designed the footprint to fit into a drawer that we'll offer (for knives, or watches, or a mix) if this becomes a popular item. $120 is usually less than the price of 1 production knife, or 1/5 to 1/20 of a custom knife, so for people who have "left seven knives in the dust a long time ago," this seems like a reasonable investment. However, as I've mentioned to a few other members, the price is not driven by what we think is reasonable relative to the things that go inside it (like a $200 to $800 phone, probably $1000 of knives and at least $500 of watches), but the costs of materials and construction, which we worked to keep as low as possible. Good feedback though, hope we can make the drawers available soon and at a price you will appreciate.

JonasHeinemanI'd meant adding drawers underneath - as you'd mentioned it would fit atop another sort of cabinet (with drawers.) And, while I may have "left seven knives in the dust" a while ago, it's taken me a while to get there (although I credit Massdrop with much of that - putting up the Emerson/Kershaw CQC-xK series has expanded my collection! I'm hoping to see the rest go up, and hoping to see Kershaw address the rest of the Emerson CQC series...)
Some of us just don't spend that much per item - I've probably topped out at $40 for a knife (Emerson/Kershaw CQC-8K, purchased locally) and ~$100 for a watch (only analog 24-hour dial I could find that cost less than my truck.) My phone(s)? One's a couple of generations old, bought as a former store display and in good shape - $75. The other? And off-branded unit I use for my "emergency backline" (fewer people have that number than know my middle name) that I bought for $25. So, some of us are quite frugal (or my inner Scot just chooses odd times to express himself!)
So, convince us why we should pony up $120 for this case. I'm curious...

Perhaps if it came with a couple of knife drawers underneath, included, it would be easier to take the $120 hit (for those of us who left "seven" knives in the dust a long time ago... :) )
