EVERPRIDE 12 Inch Chef Knife Guard Set (2-Piece Set) - Long Knives Blade Edge Cover Sheaths - Durable, BPA-Free, Felt Lined, Sturdy ABS Plastic - Knives Not Included

These edge guards are thin and light but sturdy (ABS?) with a pebble grain exterior and flocked lining. The top edge could have been finished better or cut cleaner; there are some burrs and plastic shavings but barely worth mentioning.I recently purchased a 12" Mac knife for breaking down large fish and wanted an edge guard. I researched edge guards as no saya is available for the Mac. I decided on this Everpride because the size was perfect, 1/2" longer than the blade and wide enough for full coverage.All my other Japanese knives have wooden saya so I am used to a secure fit, and the taco style of these guards was not comforting. The blade of my Mac knife is very thin and a flick of the knife sends the guard flying. The flock lining is nice but also reduces friction and I wanted a more secure fit.I modded the guard with a 3/8" notch that receives the handle. 3/8" was the deepest I could go without risking the tip protruding from the end. The notch prevents the handle from being lifted straight up, however the tip could still swing up. I then drilled a small hole and bolted the two front halves of the guard together (#4-40 X 1/4"), preventing the tip from swinging straight up. Now the blade cannot be removed from the guard without retracting it until the handle leaves the notch. Removing the guard takes a deliberate effort and I am quite happy with the result.It would be nice if you could purchase these individually, but I am sure I will eventually find another knife for the second guard. At 12 1/2" long you could even make 2 custom guards for a smaller knife and a paring. The plastic is difficult to cut with a knife but easy with a scroll, coping, or hacksaw. Cut edges clean up easily with a file or sanding.5 stars for being exactly what I needed and perfect for my specific knife.

As described perfect!

Fish knife sheath is exactly as described and it is precisely 12in long... That means that if your knife is even a quarter inch over it, it will be sticking out a little bit. However it is everything that it was described it to be and my 12in knife perfectly fits inside of it. Thank you very much.

It's nice enough & my knife fit, & the second one I gave to my son-in-law for his knife !

a bit flimsily but a good fit for my 12in knives

Bought these specifically for Kramer 8 in chef knives. They are too long for them but the width is just about perfect. I sliced a few inches off the end and couldn't be happier. Felt lining protects and keeps them safe. I just wish you could buy these individually or in packages with different selection as I already purchased a set but need another 8 inch sleeve but do not need another pairing knife sleeve.

Lost the cheapo plastic sleeve that came with my really great Victorinox carving knife. Very happy to have found this--and pretty quickly, too--fits perfectly, and seems quite sturdy. Many thanks!

I like this product for the most part. Price isNot bad. But if the knife has an angle on the handle it leaves part of the edge exposed. If the handle is straight it’s perfect that’s why I gave it a four star rating .

Fit nicely, very thick. They hold onto the knife well. If you have a half bolster on your knife you will have to trim the sleeve for proper fit. I did this with ease with kitchen sheers.
