Victorinox Cutlery BladeSafe for 8-to-10-Inch Knife Blades Review

Victorinox Cutlery BladeSafe for 8-to-10-Inch Knife Blades

I really was impressed with how sturdy these blade guards were. I have the 8" Forschner Chef's knife, and it this of course fits it perfectly.
There are soft pads inside the guard that pinch the knife securely and keeps the blade from rattling around. At first, this does create a residue on the blade, but after a few weeks the residue no long appears.
I also have used it on my Mac Pro MTH-80 chefs knife - Due to the thinner Japanese style blade, the pads don't pinch so blade guard doesn't hold the knife completely secure, but the blade is still completely protected and safe. Just keep this in mind if purchasing for a Japanese stamped blade. If you have a standard Henckels, Wustoff or Forschner western style blade - you can't go wrong with these.

J.A. Henckels 10-Slot Hardwood Knife Storage Block Review

now that i finally got a super sharp edge on my old and heavy 10" chef's knife, i thought it would be nice to stick it somewhere other than on top of the drawer tray. i also have a long skinny 10" that never gets dull. i have recently bought an 8" forschner/victorinox chef's knife (5 stars). time for a storage solution.
got this block this afternoon. looks cool, BUT ! my 2 chef's knifes did not fit the block's two large slots. blades bottomed out short of fully inserting, with about 2" to 3" of blade sticking out. i decided to open the tops of the slots to get the knives to nest properly. my trusty bosch jig saw with a hacksaw blade deepened and widened the top twoslots. then i found on the old heavy, the blade back was too thick to go all the way in the slot. more jigsawing. problems solved.
gave this block a third star cause the price was most bearable. maybe henckels knives are thin. also with amazon's price,free shipping and no sales tax, i don't mind not supporting the box stores to buy stuff like this.
suggest that henckels or amazon would state the clearance dimensions of these slots.

Dull cutlery is dangerous cutlery. One of the easiest ways to maintain sharp edges on your fine cutlery is to store the knives in a block. An added benefit is that your knives are conveniently ready and waiting for the next time you need to carve a roast or julienne some veggies.

No more cut fingers when fishing out knives from the drawer!
This knife guard is a very inexpensive but quality product and will protect both the blade and your fingers. I am happy every time I open the drawer.

Lamson Sharp 33688 Batard Knife with Folding Wood Handle Review

This is a typical Chinese low-quality product. I would love it if it were of decent quality.
This is the roughest blade hinge I have ever experienced. The blade grinds and balks when it is opened or closed. I don't believe I have ever felt such a rough knife hinge. It is even worse than a knife that has been dropped in sand. The blade is decent when new, but is poorly sharpened and dulls quickly, especially where it contacts a cutting board. The corkscrew does work smoothly and seems well-finished. They missed a good design opportunity on the corkscrew by not fitting a folding projection to make it a waiter's corkscrew. Nobody likes the brute-force corkscrews, you know. Many people can't even use them. Leverage is a wonderful thing.
The only good thing I can say about this knife is that it is pretty until you use it. It would make a nice gift for someone you knew would not use it, or know the difference.
