Wusthof blade guard 8-Inch Chef's Knife

I wanted to get rid of my bulky knife block on my kitchen counter so I got sleeves for my Wusthof chef knife and another sleeve for my Mac knife (they didn't have a specific Mac knife sleeve available). I wish I would have ordered 2 of these sleeves! This product is great! I think it could work with any brand's 8" chef knife. If you're looking for a quality chef knife sleeve definitely purchase this one, even if you aren't using it for a Wustof!

I bought this one especially for my 8 inch Wusthof Chef’s knife and so far I have been very happy with it. The sturdy gray (cardboard?) protects me from the blade and the soft inner liner (felt?) protects the blade from wear and scratches. It fits the knife snuggly and covers the entire blade. The only negative I would say about this blade guard is that you have to put it on slowly and carefully if you don’t want to cut yourself. It’s very easy though (to put it on not to cut yourself).

As an novice chef, I have multiple kitchen tools in the same drawer. After treating myself to a Wusthof 8" chef's knife, I wanted to make sure it didn't get banged up in there. This is a simple cover that keeps the blade protected, as well as your hand when you fish it out. Only had a week, but seems to be well made.

I am giving this 4 stars (instead of 1) because my dissatisfaction with this product is my fault. I saw this item marked under a Wusthof 8-inch Chef's knife I purchased, as an item "that most people who purchase the knife, also purchase this blade guard". So without reading about it, I put it in my cart. I assumed this was some kind of sturdy 3-sided board or fabric pocket designed for this knife to protect the blade as well as the user. It is actually a heavy-duty cardboard sheet that is scored down the middle and folded in half. The inside is lined with soft material and the outside has a nice coating. When I received it I didn't realize this and slipped the blade into the "pocket" (or what I thought was a closed pocket) and the end of the blade went right through the open back and into my finger. While I washed my finger, my husband walked in and did the exact same thing! Haha. We sound like idiots! But it really does appear to be 3-sided, so be warned and keep your fingers off the back end of this "guard". I would have never bought it if I'd realized it was simply folded in half. I was looking for something that would firmly hold my blade inside without being concerned it will slip out the back end and into your finger. I'm no chef -- clearly -- so maybe all blade guards are made this way, but it seemed logical it would be 3-sided. We even attempted to cover the back end with duct tape (that fixes everything, right?) and of course the blade went right through that too . . . and into my finger again. Seriously, I feel pretty stupid about now. I will add that after receiving the product and damaging my hand repeatedly, I looked at the product description and it doesn't describe it well at all, so I probably would have bought it assuming it was 3-sided. So anyway, just be warned . . . it is not a pocket -- and be careful.

I love my Wusthof 7 inch Santoku.Must buy if you have an expensive Wusthof. Lot of people use the knife in my house. So most of the time its lying in the drawer with all kinds of silverware. No matter how good the knife, it will loose its sharpness quickly if it keeps hit other metal objects.Easy to slide in. The cover holds on securely and does not come off easily.Accidentally dropped it in water, no damage done.Now I can sleep in peace knowing its well protected.

This thing is basically like a taco-sleeve. By that I mean it's not sealed on top (above the wusthoff logo). Some might see this as an advantage I suppose since maybe it would allow cleaning and loading the knife in from the top instead of sliding it in from the side but neither of those are for me. Also a little pricier than I would have liked ($8.5). I might buy again if I can't find something better but wouldn't be super thrilled about it.

Bought these for my son who is a chef and he loves them. I have ordered others that get the job done, but these have a soft felt inside to protect your knives from scratching them as you put the cover off and on. They are also nice and flat so if you have a carrying case they don't take up much room at all.

I believe I own all the sizes available of the Wusthof blade guards and have found all of them to be great. They're not the cheapest, but as the old saying goes, you get what you pay for. I've had other blade guards and have thrown them out. They either didn't fit properly or were so difficult to put on the knife, I fear current myself, if there was a slip. Except for the few knives I own that came with their own custom fitted blade guard, these are on all my knives.

Protection de lame de couteau. Me semble un peu fragile, mais je ne m’en sert pas tous les jours.

Simpel maar effectief. Ik wil geen messenblok op het aanrecht en met kleine kinderen vind ik het te gevaarlijk als mijn messen onbeschermd in de la liggen.

Die Schutzhülle schützt die Klinge meines wertvollen Kochmessers perfekt

Poor quality product!! Cheap material and is not fitting the knife!

Ich schütze meine Messer beim lagern in der Kochmessertasche sicherheitshalber zusätzlich mit den Klingenschützern.Sie machen was sie sollen, sie schützen meine Messer vor Beschädigungen durch andere Messer oder Kochutensilien.Bei einem frisch geschärftem Messer ( bei der 20cm Variante ) bin ich beim einführen in die Hülle einmal am Rücken entlang gefahren wodurch der Schützer an dem einen Ende durchtrennt wurde, wirkt der Schutzfunktion aber nicht entgegen.Ich bin zufrieden und habe den Klingenschützer auch in der 20cm Variante für mein Kochmesser.
