About Mercer Culinary Knife Guard, 8 Inch x 2 Inch,Black
Overall Feedback:
86% positive
78% appreciated the multiple attachment options, though 22% found them limited
This MERCER KNIFE GUARD requires the user to force the entire knife blade sideways along the entire length of the blade into a tight, plastic guard opening rather than inserting the tip off the blade into a sheath.
80% found it easy to open and close, but 20% struggled with it
The guard is perfect for my long thin knife that I use to skin fish filets.
The product is a good way to protect the blade, but it can accidentally cut me when putting the knife away.
Nearly every guest is confused about which direction the knife should go into the sheath.
80% liked the snug and secure fit, but 20% found it too loose
The knife guard fits well, holds the knife securely, and prevents it from sliding or slipping out.
The knife guard fits as long as I don't push the knife all the way into the sleeve up to the edge of the knife bolster.
I find the fit too tight and it's difficult to fit the bread knife blade in.
My knife cover fits the knife but not perfectly because it is curved and the cover is straight.

84% found it effectively protected the knife, but 16% experienced scratches
This product is a good way to protect the blade, but it can also accidentally cut you when putting the knife away.
I always end up getting cuts while removing the knives from the kit, even though they are supposed to be protected.
I advise others to be aware of the danger in inserting the blade into the cavity of the guard due to safety implications expressed by me.
74% praised the rugged construction, but 26% found it flimsy
The knife guard is well made, durable, and has an excellent price.
If the knife with the protector falls, the pointy end of the PVC might get cracked or something similar.
I found the product durable but impossible to use.
I advise others not to purchase the product due to safety concerns associated with the design of the knife guard.

I stored the knife in a drawer with other items and now it is well protected and safe.
69% liked the ample storage space
For my long thin knife that I use to skin fish filets, this product is perfect.
