This bag has been featured in the SDCC Blade Runner 2049 props section along Sapper Morton´s more famous belt bag with the Amsler scalpel.
Someone attached it to the post about the other medical bag, when people were trying to identify the metal patches in the other bag. Then last month there was a huge Blade Runner 2049 prop auction, featuring many props from the movie, including this bag. High-resolution images of all props in different angles were made available for this auction and are still up on the website.

I could swear I’ve seen it in a video somewhere, but it could be false memory. I thought it was in Adam Savage’s participation in the short, but I re-watched it, and it was another much larger black bag. Unless they release the 4h version or more scenes pop up somewhere, who knows. If I get the chance to talk to Batista, I’ll ask about it, though I can think of 2 scenarios:
1. It’s a secondary bag, used in Calantha or in a different scene that was cut out in the shorter version.
2. It’s an alternate bag to the ITS Tallboy and they simply chose to use the bag featured in the movie instead.
The fact that the bag was featured in SDCC and available in the big prop auction, makes me think it was used somewhere in the 4+ hour version. I do not believe they would have kept a failed submission of an unused prop, much less put it on display.
The interesting things about this bag are the following. Not only is the bag available on Amazon right now, but it only costs U$17. Then, the most interesting aspects. Mainly the rectangular patch in the lower part of the bag, it says
“KAWEIKUINGHT. Not to be removed until delivered to the consumer. Ne pas enleveravant livraison au consommateur”
It’s not unusual for mass production acme Chinese brands to have meaningless writing in the products, but the fact that it references a sewn and riveted part of the bag assumed to be removed and it is written in English and French, makes me think, in fact, willing to bet that this bag was commissioned by the production for the movie and they just kept mass producing it. To me, these things make me very interested in the bag. It also looks pretty cool. The bags seem to have popped up for sale at first, during the movie’s production, 2016. The oldest review I found was from a purchase of that date.
The brand is marked as “Kawei Knight”, but it also is tagged as a different model of a different name, “INNTURT”. It is the grey version, NOT the dark grey.
I was able to find the bag thanks to the newer pics from the props auction. I was looking for it for a long time, but there are just so many bags of this sort out there. I thought it was NICCGID initially and the model simply wasn’t made anymore.
My bag came with the orange rivets from the dark version instead of the ones that match the prop or the images that are shown in the Amazon listing. Maybe it was a production mistake, or they simply changed it for a different reason. I’d buy more to see if they come with the right hardware, but unfortunately, with shipping and taxes to me, each bag costs about U$50.
About the bag itself, it’s actually impressive that it costs so little, because it looks very well engineered. Don’t get me wrong, they took the cheapest materials to make this. The zipper pulls are not even paracord, they are crappy nylon and the zippers don’t seem to be YKK or high quality at all. In fact, my bag came with all zippers open in sections that were supposed to be closed, but it was fixed after I opened it fully and closed again. The bag is thin and super light, probably lighter than my cellphone.
What I thought was well made, despite materials not being impressive, was that the bag has things like lining within the pockets and other things that usually cheaper bags like these skimp on. For example, the rivets you see from the outside are not accessible from the inside the bag, because they are covered by the inner lining.
Can someone here can translate the Asian writings in red and in the patches? Does anybody here have any other info about the bag or maybe some recordings/scenes or pictures?
