Mercer CulinaryKnife Guard, 8 Inch x 2 Inch,Black

I have knife edge guard on all of my kitchen knives--from the most expensive to the less expensive. They can fit into a kitchen drawer w/o fear of hurting the knife blade. The price is very good and these are of good quality.

I can't speak to durability, sturdiness or value for the money since it's still rather new and time will only prove those three things. I decided not long ago I really needed to invest in better knives, I've been using those real cheap knives from the Chinese houseware stores for most of my life but they do not sharpen up very well, nor do they stay "sharp" very long and before I die (my bucket list) I really wanted at least 2 really good (pretty good, I do not know what qualifies as really good) knives and bought two. I love them, I sit there just looking at them, they are so lovely, so sharp, so beautiful and slice like you wouldn't believe. Anyway, now that I have my beautiful knives, I needed to protect them. I only have about 30" of counter space to work in so I don't have space for one of those knife blocks and the way the wall is you can't put a magnet strip there. Oh, yes, I have one drawer for all my kitchen utensils, flatware, everything. So I'm using a shallow box to keep things I use all the time including my knives which I have had in those rigid plastic knife sheathes but they are open on top and stuff gets in there including moisture/oil in the air (it is a much used kitchen). So, looked around and saw this. My newest beautiful knife was too big for the other cloth guards I'd bought but this one fits like a glove. It feels sturdy to me, the razor sharp knife edge hasn't cut through the fabric (yet?), seems to be protecting my precious knife. In other words, so far, it's working very well and I can easily tell my excellent knife from all the lousy Chinese-made ones just by its cover.

Exactly what I needed. Protects the knife blade well.

They're pretty OK, fits on my knife well though it slides around juuuusst a little. Nothing huge though. The plastic isn't very resistant to heat, it WILL open up if you leave it somewhere hot and will NOT close back up if you try reheating and shaping it lol. But they're good for the price.

PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT! Well made for my expensive knife. I’d buy again from this company

These are very handy if you have sharp knives with no covers. They cover the knife well and are easy to take on or off. The item feels solid and does not bend. They are not child proof at all and the blade will likely stick out one end if you get too small of a size. So be sure to measure your knife before buying one of these.I just got mine so I’m not sure how durable they are. Feels like it will work well though and keep me from accidentally cutting myself when reaching around the kitchen cupboards.

The Mercer knife guard does exactly what it is supposed to do. It is slightly less nice than its best competitor, but the fact that I can buy exactly the individual guards I need for exactly the knives I own makes the whole Mercer range a better deal than its best competitor.This is my review for 8x2 inch. You will also find my other review for 4x1".

I BOUGHT A RAZOR SHARP 8" BREAD KNIFE WITH NO GUARD. THIS GUARD IS PERFCT AND VERY AFFORDABLE.
