Our blade guards provide an excellent and cost effective way of protecting your knife blade from damage and more importantly your fingers! Perfect if you need to keep your knife in a drawer or have to carry it to and from work.
“It's just a simple plastic blade guard, quite cheap, and does a perfectly good job of, well, guarding the blade of your knife. It's a nesessary evil because, your expensive Japanese blades don't deserved to be covered, they are so beautiful and should be seen and appreciated. BUT! Every day life in the kitchen can be cruel, and your gorgeous folded steel blades can be easily damaged, by being dropped themselves, or by something being dropped on them. Then of course, there is the small matter of carelessly loosing a finger or two on those wonderfully sharp blades by accident. So for peace of mind, to protect your considerable investment, and to avoid blood stains on your worktops, just get a simple blade guard!”
“unlike most websites, blade guards are listed a width, which is incredibly helpful. I've now cut them down to size so they fit each knife perfectly, though my nakiri does stick out a tiny bit along the back edge, might be worth either adding the recommended knife sizes and/or please get a wider blade guard for nakiris!!! :)”
