What is the width of the blade from the edge to the back (heel/cutting edge to the spine)?

I believe the dimensions are on the manufacturer's website. But, I measure 40 mm at the heel.

How do you store this knife? It's so sharp I don't want to leave it laying in a drawer.

Wusthof and others sell knife guards, I have purchased to protect all my knifes and will help eliminate others from getting cuts when handling.

What is the width of this blade?

40 mm wide and 2 mm thick at the heel.

How can I make this a gift?

This is my wife's new favorite knife
