Mercer Culinary Knife Guard

I recently purchased very nice Japanese knives. Unfortunately, companies no longer send a sheath to protect their expensive knives SO I had a missing. I am thrilled with how nice these covers are. I wasn’t quite sure how to place the knives in it. With a couple tries I found the very easily go into the pocket, grip them in place and then easily removed. They seem to be a great value for what I paid for them, very sturdy. Although I’ve only had them for 2 days they arrived without scratches and are of adequate weight to protect the blades. I am quite pleased with them

They are true to size, feel sturdy and truly protects your knives. They are also a great bang for your buck.

We were vacationing in SE Virginia's peanut region and hitting peanut shops when we found an old-school one full of peanuts, hams, "antiques" and assorted junk. I found a box of used butcher breaking knives from a meat-processing plant that had been sharpened to within an inch of their lives--literally. I was in the market for just such a knife and the price was right. I needed a case to transport my "new" knife home, something that would accommodate its long, curved and very well used blade. This case from Mercer fit perfectly and got the job done for a very reasonable price.

I bought this to go with the Mercer 9 inch bread knife with offset ergonomic handle. I called customer service to make sure first. The guard is a somewhat generic one, made to fit different knives. It is a simple sheath, rectangular, about 2 inches wide and 10 inches long. It is closed on only one of the long sides, with open slots on one of the long sides and on both short sides. It works fine for the knife I bought and completely covers the blade. I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars only because, the way it is made, you have to be very careful when you insert and extract the knife. You must insert the knife with the blade facing the closed side. If you are not holding the sheath properly when you extract the knife, especially if you did not insert it blade facing the closed side, you could pull the knife right out into your hand. I think it would have been better designed if the sheath had only one opening in one short side for inserting the blade. Regardless, it is a good product, does what it is supposed to, its sturdy, and covers the blade while the knife is in the drawer.

Ten inch blade slides easily and safely into this sheath so you can store the knife in a drawer. Great for when your knife block runs out of slots.

Awesome bread knife especially for slicing sourdough bread!! My old bread, knife, which isn’t very sharp, was mutilating the bread when slicing it. Such a huge difference. It does sometimes got stuck when trying to cut the bottom crust of the sourdough, but not a big deal. It’s also nice that it’s a left handed knife!

This is a review of Mercer Culinary Knife Guard, 10 Inch x 2 Inch My knives are of good quality and some are quite costly. I use knife guards on all my good knives to protect the blade from getting dulled or otherwise damaged when not. being used. Knife guards also protect you or someone else getting cut from the knife blade. This is inexpensive protection for yourself and your knife.

A must have to protect your sharp knives in drawers. And to protect from accidental cuts while reaching for knives in utensil drawers.

The knife guard covers the bread knife blade completely and securely. Easy to attach or remove. Works well to protect the blade and your fingers.

I bought this product after watching a comparison review on America’s Test Kitchen. This is an excellent bread knife. For the price it represents outstanding value. I liked this knife so much I bought a second one to keep in my caravan for our holidays. You really can’t go wrong with this knife. It just works.

Es una muy buena funda que protege muy bien al filo de tus cuchillos asi como tambien de los daños que pudiera ocasionar o cortarte. Excelente relacion precio calidad

This knife guard protects the cutting edge of the knife but leaves marks on the blade itself which look like scratches. I do not think that steel is softer than plastic, maybe those are plastic marks on steel, I do not know. It just does not look good. I would rather keep knives on the magnetic strip on the wall, but for our extra knives we needed a guard and that is what we received.

El único inconveniente es que ralla el cuchillo
