### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Protecting My Fancy Canshang Knife
*by S***N on October 14, 2023*

I got a super high-end knife set in a beautiful wooden box. The knives are extremely sharp and I immediately learned that I could not just throw them in our utencil drawers. Not only the blade would be banged and up but also we'll all cut our hands trying to reach the knives. They definitely need a dedicated storage space. The wooden box that came with the knives is fancy. But my kitchen space is very limited and I have no place to keep it where I can easily reach and I don't either have a knife block or spot for it. I see many (TV) chefs use those knife rolls so I was looking into it. But I just want it for my new chef's knife and those rolls are for multiple knives. Luckily, Amazon knew what I was looking for and this knife guard popped up on my feed. I've checked similar items from different companies but for some reason, this one was only $3,00! So I said why not and ordered it. I'm glad that I did! This blade guard perfectly fits my 8" Canshang Chef's Knife. Well, the word "perfectly" might not be completely true because it would not cover the whole knife. But it does what it is supposed to do, guard the sharp blade.. The opening is rather tight so I have to place the knife slowly and carefully. I was wishing it could be a bit looser so it'd be easier for me to place the knife in the guard. Then I realized if it was too loose, the knife could come apart in the drawer. Because it's tight, it is also secure. This was a great found and works very well for me.
