Summary: Great knife protectors!
Comment: These knife protectors do a great job of protecting knife blades in a drawer, and also protecting fingers from sharp blades. It takes a bit to get used to releasing the clasps that hold them closed and also hooking them closed, but overall they hold the knives securely. It would be nice if Amazon offered them individually so sizes needed could be bought individually as needed. I found them here at prices that are competitive, http://www.sharpeningsupplies.com/BladeSafe-Knife-Protectors-P111C59.aspx, and you can purchase only the sizes needed.

The only complaint that I might have about these protectors is the space they require in a drawer. If you have a few knives, these protectors are thick and take more space than a sleeve protector.

Summary: Well Built
Comment: Securely holds even the largest knives. 7 Inch Santuko fits the 2nd to largest size and you get 4. Great value.

Summary: mostly good
Comment: I got these to protect my very sharp but brittle ceramic knives. The latches to open them are a little awkward, and I do wish they were slightly taller.

Summary: Protect your knifes!
Comment: I'll do this one review on all the sizes of KnifeSafes.

I love these things! They're such a great idea. I'm convinced that a lot of people don't give a lot of thought to their kitchen tools. If they did, they would want to use and protect them better. Here's my reasoning behind the KnifeSafe.

Storing knives in the kitchen go something like this. Store knives in a slotted knife block. That block gets dust, moisture, and other debris in it and you won't be able to get it out. They're OK, though. Alternative storage can be as simple as hanging on magnets (if you don't mind magnetized blades). The drawer is probably the most common storage method and I've seen a lot of drawers full of knives, all sitting there next to each other. The problem is that the edges hit other metal and dull. The edges also cut hands in the drawer. Both situations are bad.

Furthermore, for those of us who transport knives to and from events, protection FROM the edge is a must. Our options are homemade sheaths life rolled magazines, flat plastic sleeves, or KnifeSafes. The rolled magazine thing is just asking for trouble. The plastic sleeves are alright but here's the difference...

Flat sleeves contact almost the entire surface of the blade. Worse yet is that the knife rests in it, sitting on its edge. The worst thing is the knife is held in, only by the elastic grip of the sleeve. I've reached for a knife in a bag to find its edge exposed!

The KnifeSafe contacts the blace only by the four rubber pieces that you can see in the picture (two adjacent pair). Not only is the surface only touched by those rubber pieces, the edge is contact free. The clam-shell like contruction snaps around the blade to the other side. The opening is not as wide as the case, so some knives won't even slip out if you can get them to slide in the rubber. I could barely pull a thin paring knife out of the KnifeSafe, so I'm not surprised that I haven't had one slip out.

In the end, I would recommend the KnifeSafe for anyone storing knives in a drawer or anyone who transports (or may transport) blades to and from events. Dinged blades and cut hands are just not worth it when you can spend a few bucks and prevent all the trouble.

Summary: Good solution for keeping knives safe
Comment: I've had these for several months now and what they're for is keeping expensive knives safe and undamaged in a drawer with a lot of other utensils. The blade is safely snapped into a plastic sheath which is easy to open and close without cutting your fingers off which is always a plus. On the whole I think it's a good solution for my knives.
