Review: Good quality - Fits my bread knife well. Well made, exactly what I was looking for. Review: No frills Knife Guards that do the job. - (Full Review) I love these Knife Guards by Mercer. I own a selection of sizes to fit all the extra knives I have that aren't part of the set in the block I recently bought. Certain knives didn't come with the set and I didn't want to make do so opted to keep some seperates. When buying a Tomato knife which I'd always been lacking and knowing how sharp they can be I didn't fancy leaving it unguarded in the cutlery drawer and risk cuts, so I thought that was the perfect time to buy knife guards. I looked at several different makes which were quite expensive for what they were where you're paying for the name rather than how beneficial they are before I came across these. They are inexpensive and basic looking yet still very good at what they do. I bought a selection of sizes to cover all loose knives of all random makes and types and found they fit all of them really well. After reading what afew other reviewers (UK and abroad) have written afew people seem confused how best to use/operate them correctly and in their words are either risking cuts or damaged knives, neither of which anyone wants!! So that spurred me on to write my own review to hopefully assist in the correct safe way to use and make use of these Knife Guards. So firstly, if you happen to buy one that is slightly smaller or larger than the blade then it's actually ok. To be safe you need to ensure the point of the blade is contained within the guard and not worry if 1 or 2 inches max closest to the handle is showing outside the Guard as you are much less likely to injure yourself in this case whereas the point can do instant damage as I'm sure we've all been unfortunate to feel at one point or another (sorry for the pun). It's also perfectly safe for the top blunt edge to be outside if the Guard is narrower (slimmer) that the blade. Note this is called a Guard not a Sheath. So when it comes to adding or removing your knife to the Guard you Won't be Sliding it. In fact you won't be able to as these are designed to grip the blade. Mercer recommend (but I'm going to go into much more detail to fully explain their basic guidelines to be sure of no confusion): •Adding the Knife to the Guard - Hold the Guard in one hand resting the outer edge in your palm and gripping the two sides with fingers and thumb below the raised rim of the entry slot. This ensures a stable grip that doesn't get in the line of the blade. With the other hand griping the knife handle line up and rest the blade edge in position on the slot. Apply gentle pressure pushing the tip end 1st into place, then pressing the rest of the blade down into position. You can slightly slide the last cm into place if necessary to ensure a tight fit as long as the blade tip remains inside the Guard by atleast 1cm but 2cm is best to be sure. •Removing the knife from the Guard - To remove it you basically reverse what you did to add the knife. Hold the Guard in one hand, grip with fingers and thumb. With other hand holding handle lift handle upwards in a hinge motion until the knife is fully removed, from handle to point. By following the above advice both your fingers and knife will not be damaged and the Guard will also remain in perfect condition. For reference the guards are also dishwasher safe if they require cleaning.
