These handsome sheaths are quite substantial to protect the blades from flexion that could snap them (far stronger than those in the 4” & 6” bundle). The lip edges angle in slightly downward to help guide the blade while minimizing friction of insertion. The enclosed side loops slightly open, giving the perfect place to anchor the heel of the blade into the end to easily guide in 1 smooth, careful “scissor-clap” motion, the start of which is further facilitated by fore-shortened cut-away angled corners on one of the sides. The sheaths clamp tightly around the blade for a secure fit, yet inserting the blades as I’ve described couldn’t be easier (I first tried angled with tip first, then the flat of the blade all at once, only to find myself fighting the security of the clamp, instead). The sleek matte finish in black makes an attractive contrast with the white logo (I presume the matte also helps avoid slipperiness in case of inadvertent oil or other slick conditions). I’m glad I got these for safe rummaging amongst my kitchen kit since I didn’t want to dedicate the space for a block and the blades are so sharp as to render potentially hazardous the slightest errant gesture grasping for an item! This way, I have nothing to worry about from my storage. And honestly, using them is a joy because they’re so finely designed and well made.
