lunch box? tool box? brief case? Suitcase?

You dingdongs, it's a type of briefcase. One might call it a satchel or and attachй case. I'm guessing porfolio is a slightly off translation from another language, perhaps JAPANESE. One definition of portfolio is "a large, thin, flat case for loose sheets of paper such as drawings or maps." Synonyms include, "briefcase, case, valise, bag, attachй (case)"

^Or a translation from Russian, Hamflaps? (This is a Russian site, despite the puzzle type perhaps originating in Japan.)

Writers/journalists also frequently have a hard-file portfolio.
