What Global blade cover size would be the right one for this knife?

I've never used a blade cover, but the Cook's 20cm knife would need to be at least 20 cm (200 mm) long and 4.5 cm (45mm) wide.

Does this knife come with a knife guard/sheath in the box or will I have to buy one separately?

No original box or any other item included, all as stated in the listing description. Hence the low price.

What is the thickness of the blade? I am looking at having a bespoke knife block made to accommodate these knives.

At the thickest part of the blade approx 2.4mm
