Blade Guard - Blade Guard® 4-Inch Locking Knife Blade Protector - Made in USA - Clear

Protect Every Knife Blade in Your Kit. Blade Guard™ 4-Inch Locking Knife Blade Protector. Protect a compatible paring knife or small utility blade with the clear 4-inch Blade Guard. Its hinged body closes around the blade, while locking tabs, internal rubber retention bumpers and a blade heel stop help keep the knife positioned during storage and transport. The enclosure covers the cutting edge and tip to help reduce contact with surrounding utensils and equipment. Check the fit before use: blade length must be no more than 4 inches and heel width no more than 5/8 inch. The heel is the rear portion of the blade near the handle. Blade thickness, curvature and overall shape also affect compatibility. Confirm that the blade sits correctly and the guard closes and locks without forcing it. The 4-inch designation refers to blade capacity, not the overall exterior dimensions of the guard. Made in the USA from BPA-free polypropylene, the clear version has a frosted, translucent appearance for blade identification. The guard is dishwasher safe. Use it in a kitchen drawer or inside an appropriate knife roll or equipment bag, and secure knives appropriately for transport. Careful handling remains necessary. Package includes one clear 4-inch Blade Guard. Knife, knife roll and other accessories are not included. “At first I thought it was bulky to carry. As soon as I closed it over the knife and heard it snap closed — I was hooked.”
