Victorinox BladeSafe Storage and Safety Accessory - Works with 8-Inch to 10-Inch Kitchen Knife Blades

I really like the BladeSafe and I think it is one of the best products made.My main kitchen knives are a paring knife and a 240mm gyuto. I own multiple of each. Cutting blocks really are not practical, wooden sayas are expensive and are not very practical, knife wraps take up a lot of space and take a while to use, and generic cardboard protectors just don't cut it. Some of my more expensive gyutos are over $500, so it is very important to me that they not bang up against other blades given the damage that can occur.So enter the BladeSafe (which is branded under a few different names, including Victorinox like the product here). It literally locks on to the blade, contains material that pads the blade and stops it from moving around inside the case, and then the knife and the BladeSafe become one until you remove it.Putting the knife in, locking the BladeSafe, and unlocking it are all easy tasks. The hardware is strong: it is made to last years. It's also capable of different cleaning methods as it holds up to most anything. These BladeSafes do NOT come undone on themselves, slip a little, or fail to protect the knife in certain circumstances. More or less, you install this right and your knife is protected. At the same time, you don't have to worry about this damaging the finish on your knife as the design is well-made to ensure it does not harm the cosmetic finish of the blade.For traveling, these things are also great. Built to withstand usage, cleaning, shock, etc., these are built to hold up to the sometimes continuous beating that life can dish out.I have dropped a knife with one of these on and, thanks to the BladeSafe, no damage happened. If it was the knife only, one of two things would have occurred: the tip breaks or I get a free piercing through my foot. Disaster averted for 7 bucks. That's quite a bargain if you ask me!

This is great for my knives. Great quality and is easy to open and close. Great price.

Are you troubled by dark spirits invading your home and slinging your fine cutlery at you from across the kitchen? Well, we all know how annoying that can be. (Been there, got the T-Shirt). If you are having those kinds of problems, I highly recommend this product. They may be able to get the knife out of the drawer and throw it at you, but it will just fall harmlessly to the floor, because they just can''t get these fine sheaths off. And no more having to re-sharpen all your knives every time your unwanted spectral guests fling a fit !These well made guards fit a variety of non-Victorinox blades quite well, and are very secure. The only downsides are the extra step of opening up the case to use the blade, and the fact that they are slightly bulky. Given the inconvenience of going to the emergency room for stitches when someone has an accidental encounter with a truly sharp blade, and the protection these guards provide from damage to the keen edge on a properly sharpened knife, those drawbacks are minor indeed.These guards were also favorably reviewed by Cook's Illustrated, and you know how picky they are. If you have very sharp knives in your drawers, you should order a complete set of these guards. Your hands will thank you. Your "haints" however, will be most unhappy.

Most blade protectors for kitchen cutlery are something of a joke. They're basically vinyl sleeves - nothing holds them on the knife except friction, and they're very difficult to clean.These Victorinox sheaths are another story entirely. They are very strongly built, hold blades extremely well, and because they open like a clamshell, you can clean them relatively easily.There is one glaring flaw, however, which many other reviewers have mentioned. The four rubber pieces which act to firmly sandwich the blade in place so that it doesn't slide in the sheath are SPECTACULARLY poorly designed, insofar as the material choice. They leave what can only be described as rubber smears behind on the blade. This doesn't require long term storage to observe - the very first time you try the sheath out and snap it closed for only a couple of seconds, you will open it up to find your blade marred by these rubber streaks on both sides.Cleaning the rubber bits first don't help. It seems to be a characteristic of the type of rubber they chose.I found one way to prevent it from happening - which was to fold a tissue around the blade before putting it in the sheath. The tissue completely prevents the rubber from marring the blade. However, the downside of this workaround is that it prevents the rubber from locking the blade into place. So for a knife whose shape is such that the sheath locks it from being able to slip out, you don't have to worry about the sheath slipping off, but the blade will be free to slide within the sheath.If the knife is just being put in a drawer, then this will not be a big problem. However, if the knife will be kept someplace where it will be moving around (e.g. travelling), then there's a chance that the blade sliding around might cause the edge to hit the inside of the sheath which might not be great for the edge (it's plastic, not metal, so it's not awful either).All in all, it's a small price to pay for having an otherwise excellent blade protector.

I have had one of these cases (10" variety) for going on six or seven years now. I received two more today, because my knife collection now includes more knives that I feel deserve to be kept in cases. I am a professional cook, so my original case got a lot of work, and it looks pretty much the same as the new ones that just arrived. The hinge has not worn out, and I have not lost any of the pads.A warning though: the rubber pads will stain your knife! It is a greasy stain that I had a hard time removing with soap. I found the easiest way to remove it was just to add more grease. I recalled my freshman Chem courses, rubbed my thumb on my greasy nose, and proceeded to rub at the stain until it was gone. I suggest washing these cases in hot water with a bunch of soap, maybe twice, before actually putting a knife in them.These are pretty much indispensable for anyone doing any sort of cooking that isn't in a kitchen with a knife block or mag strip. Don't put your knives into a knife roll naked, use these first! I'd also add that I find these much better than the sleeve-type edge protectors, which require you to put your knife into a hard plastic sandwhich blade first. It's easy to mess up your edge, they also only protect one side of the blade, and they come off easily.

I took a cooking course and didn't want to buy a full roll at one extreme or take my knives (2 of them) naked or towel wrapped on the other. This was a great compromise. I bought one and very quickly bought another. It fits all my 8 in knives, stays securely fashioned and definitely protects the knives. I'm guessing it'd fit most shapes in this length category unless you have something like a fillet knife that isn't broad enough and slips out or something really wide like a specialty knife. I generally use it for my 8" global or 8" Mac. It would also fit several others I own, however.No durability problems thus far. Snaps still work like they did the first time although I've only used them a little less than a dozen times, so I don't know how much that really says.Easy to clean...I can't remember whether or not this claims to be dishwasher safe, but as far as I'm concerned, it is.I like using it...definitely the best way to haul around single knives.

Happy with Victorinox Blade Protector for my knife and I am happy that it is a more recent version than others. I ordered more for my father’s knifes.

Reasons I think this product deserves five stars:+Fits my Cutco 10" chef's knife and I'm assuming many other brands of 8-10" chef's knifes. I've tried a few other types and they've all worked but I'm not sure of the exact brand/models other than being 8 or 10" chef's knifes.+Very reasonable price, cheaper than other brand's that sell similar covers.+Well made and very secure.+This cover keeps the knife from becoming dull when moving around kitchen drawers.+Most importantly this cover provides peace of mind. All the other types of make-shift knife covers I've used have been prone to slip off during travel. There is nothing scarier than arriving at a campsite late at night and worrying that you're hand will meet the raw edge of a knife when reaching into the kitchen supplies container. Also, as a child care provider I bring my own cooking supplies to many of the homes I work for. Although the children are older and know how to handle knifes, I've always worried that one would cut themselves when trying to find something in my supply bag while preparing meals. **Obviously I wouldn't recommend leaving the knife out where young children may access them regardless of how secure the cover may seem.

Protetor é muito bom, se adequa perfeitamente à faca, gostei bastante.

LA FUNDA PLASTICA LE QUDO A LA PERFECCION. ES DE MATERIAL RESISTENTE, ADECUADO Y PROTEGE DE CUALQUIER ACCIDENTE. FELICIDADES.

Although this guard is probably 3 times thicker than most blade guards, it really does a ton to protect your blades. It wont fall off like some blade guards, even if you drop it. The only real downsides are it's a bit bulky, but that's a trade off for awesome protection. The only other downside is that the rubber holds inside of the guard WILL mark your knives up initially. Nothing that can't be scrubbed off, and it goes away over a few weeks. Outside of that great product.

Excelente producto ya será la 3ra vez que compro por varias piezas solo que deberían poner mas fotos hacerca que cuáles cuchillos entran y cuales no. Y tener para las puntillas y otros
