Blade guards provide an excellent and cost effective way of protecting your knife blade from damage and more importantly your fingers! Perfect if you need to keep your knife in a drawer or knife roll while travelling to work. They fit snugly so no need to worry about them sliding off and have a strong, hard exterior with a soft felt-like interior to protect your knife and blade. Size Guide Blade guards are designed to fit a range of knives, please use the size guides above to find the correct size for your knife. When viewing a knife, we suggest checking the cutting edge length listed on the knife product page and adding around 10-15mm to that to allow for the distance from the heel of the blade to the handle. .guard-table, .guard-table tr, .guard-table td { border:1px solid #dfdfcd; background: #fff; } Guard Size Recommended for Small - 16cm x 3.2cm Petty, Ko-bunka, Ko-bocho Medium - 22cm x 5cm Santoku, Small Gyuto (180mm), Bunka, Nakiri, Funayuki, Sabaki, Usuba, Honesuki Large - 27cm x 5.5cm Mid to Large Gyuto (190mm - 240mm) Extra Large - 32cm x 6.5cm Sujihiki, Yanagiba, Gyuto 270mm and longer If you have any questions about the correct fit for your knife please contact us and we're happy to advise.
