Plastic that is fairly hard. After three years of daily unsheathings, the one covering a ceramic knife has developed a crack, but it continues to function. Those on my prize knives, which haven't been touched as much, are still in excellent condition.
Dimensions on the outside: Because of the width of the plastic, the inner dimension for width is slightly smaller. Because my steak knives aren't very wide, the entire blade fits inside; however, with the larger steakhouse-style knives, the entire blade does not fit inside. It would only cover the cutting edge of knives of this type. I don't think they'd come loose from the larger blades because they're so snugly fitted. Because I don't have a block for my steak knives, I've found them to be ideal for storing in a drawer.
The Chef's knife guard is 8-inches long, according to my measurements. 2" length x 1/2" It is 1/16" wide and fits both of my Chef's knives (mine are 1-1/2" wide). 3/4" wide by 1" tall 7/8" wide), as well as my Santoku knife (which is 1-1/2" wide). 3/4" in width). They fit snugly and completely cover the blades. Even if the top of your blade protruded a little, the knife appears to be securely encased in the guard, protecting the blade edge. Other guards' measurements are as follows: 6-inch x 1-inch (fits my bread knives and long slicers) 4-inch x 1-inch (fits medium slicers/boning knives) and 1/2" x 1-inch (fits medium slicers/boning knives) 1/2" x 1" (I use this size for my paring knife, but it should fit a long pairing knife as well).
That is an excellent query. Nothing is written on the outside of the covers. I'm crossing my fingers that it's the United States of America. Please accept my apologies for not being able to assist you. I didn't open the package because I wasn't interested in reading it. I enjoyed them so much that I gave them as Christmas gifts to others. It was a particularly hectic period.
Selected User Reviews For Ultimate Edge BS4 4-Piece Knife Sleeve Set
When I was trying to get the steak knives into each sleeve, I almost stabbed myself. It's just a tad too tense. br>br>Had the Chef Sac brand of steak knives been available in this size, I would have purchased them because they had the right level of tightness - Neither too loose nor too tight are acceptable. br>br>This was the only brand with six steak knife sleeves. br>br>Recent changes: br>br> 2/4/2021br>br>I wanted to like these steak knife guards, but they're a safety hazard. I'm not sure if it's because of the batch, but the sleeve is extremely tight, even after inserting and removing the knife. I've almost stabbed myself a few times, and I have to use something to get into the sleeve before I can get my knife in. Because I'm on blood thinners, it's critical that I don't cut or stab myself unintentionally. Duh. br>br>Because there are no other vendors selling steak knife sleeve guards on Amazon, I did a Google search for steak knife guards or sleeves and found other manufacturers. Messermeister was the one I chose in the end. They're $25 with Prime on Amazon, which is $10 more than the manufacturer's price. On their website, the price is $15, but shipping is an additional $10. To be honest, this package could fit in a regular envelope and cost less than a dollar. I ended up purchasing it from Messermeister, who was the seller on eBay. It cost $15 plus $5 shipping, which was still excessively high for shipping but much more reasonable. br>br>For Steak Knives, the Ultimate Edge Guards are quite long. Although the steak knives I received are of standard length, I'm sure some people use extremely large and long steak knives. My Misen steak knives fit perfectly in the Messermeister guards. What I like about the knife sleeves is that they have notches on the top of them, which makes it easier to press your knife blade into the sleeve. br>br>The Ultimate Edge sleeves don't have these, so you're more likely to stabbing yourself with your knife by accident; however, these sleeves have a lot of positive reviews, so it could just be me. Chef Sac's knife guard sleeves, on the other hand, remain my favorites. They're fantastic, and they're the first knife guards I purchased for my larger knives. Unfortunately, there isn't a set of six steak knives available.
I adore these and have been using them for years; I've never found anything else that works as well. br>br>I have a lot of kitchen knives, including several 240mm Gyutos, some of which cost well over $450 each, all of which I bought separately. As a result, there isn't a knife block large enough, or with the sizes I'd need, to hold many, if not all, of my knives. However, given the high cost of some of these knives and their razor-thin angles (less than 10 degrees), something must be done to protect them. In fact, it's critical to make sure that no knife blades come into contact with one another: two blades in contact with metal A metal edge can easily be damaged or a tip can be broken. With Blade Savers, you can prevent this from happening in the first place, as well as add a margin of safety for storage, lowering the risk of an accidental injury. They slide on easily, slide off easily, stay on the knife, and prevent anything from harming the blade. br>br>The sizes they make are convenient because they make a size for almost any knife you might have. They slide on easily, slide off easily, stay on the knife, and prevent anything from harming the blade. They're also less expensive than a knife block, display case, roll case, or wooden saya because they don't encourage the growth of rust. They're also easy to clean and sanitize. br>br>Did I mention they're super easy to use? I simply take my favorite Gyuto, a Konosuke Fujimaya, from its drawer, remove the Blade Saver, use the knife, and clean it. Return the knife to the Blade Saver after drying it. I actually think this is more convenient than a block because it takes no time to put them on, and you can lay a knife on a surface (like next to a cutting board or on the counter) that would be unsafe for the knife (and anyone else around it) if it didn't have the Blade Saver on it to cover the portion of the knife vulnerable to damage, which is also where injuries occur. br>br>This four-piece value set is a good deal because it includes some of the most popular sizes and saves you money over purchasing them separately. br>br>Overall, this is a fantastic product with a lot of functionality at a reasonable price. If you have a kitchen knife (which I'm willing to bet most people do), this is a must-have because it makes life a little easier and safer.
These were purchased to protect a set of Global steak knives that had been left out in my utensil drawer. I was afraid of cutting myself as well as damaging the newly delicate edges after purchasing an electric sharpener that gave them a razor edge. The blade is pressed into the protectors, which are essentially plastic sleeves. The sleeve is narrow to ensure a secure grip on the blade and prevent it from falling off. They get the job done, but they're a few inches longer than my knives. I could cut them to make them fit better, but I'm going to leave them as is for now. They're simple, but they get the job done.
I couldn't get a knife into these sleeves because it was too big - I was on the verge of chopping off my fingers. It isn't a sheath, and the plastic isn't flexible. It's similar to a money clip, but the clip can't be pryed open. By wriggling back and forth, I was able to wedge the knife between the clip and my skin. I'm not going to use these dreadful things.
