Always Safe And SecureI’ve bought this twice now (one was a gift for my son). It protects both the blade edge, and my hands when I reach in the knife drawer. It’s smooth and easy to put on, but stays firmly in place until I’m ready to take it off.

Good but not greatThe knife holder fit the 5.5 inch Shun Santoku quite well. Seems reasonably durable. It is open at the knife end of the sheath so care must be taken so as not to cut yourself if the blade pokes through. I have modified the end with a piece of black duct tape so this will not happen.

works goodworks just as described just keep in mind if you have curved blades the tip could potentially show but unlikely

Useful product to protect your Mercer knife purchaseServes its purpose well, can’t comment on durability or sturdiness as it’s less than a month in use.

secure fit but with no felt liningthe quality is excellent but they are not felt-lined, therefore, not sure if they will scratch the knives.In any case, they provide a very secured fit.

Works greatI was prepared to hate this, but now I think it’s great. First things first, it’s super easy to use and simple to slip the knife into it. I’m not sure why people are having problems – follow the directions by starting at one corner and then pivoting the knife into the guard. simple. It does a great job protecting the knife, it holds firmly and won’t fall off. I was also a little concerned that it might scratch my knives, that has not been a problem at all. Overall, I’m surprisingly happy with this.

Love it!These are sturdy, slip on and off in a second, yet stay in place to protect your knife edge when not in use. Highly recommend.

A little rigid at first…I bought this for a serrated edged knife and it was little rigid at first, meaning it was somewhat difficult to take it off the knife without creating a dangerous situation. After several cycles of putting it on the knife and taking it off it has loosened up to where it’s easier to use. Now I hope it doesn’t get too loose.

Covers the 10 inch knife perfectlyThey say that a dull knife is more dangerous than a sharp one BUT……the Mercer knife is crazy sharp. This guard is easy to put on, easy to take off, does not come off by itself and is about the only way to keep this knife safe when not using it. A “must have” if you buy the knife. If you don’t get the guard, I about guarantee that you will barely touch the edge of the knife in passing and one or more fingers will bleed!
