Kai Blade Guard with Clip – Wide

This translucent blade guard protects your cutlery investment – and your fingers – simply and easily. The guard fits a wide variety of cutlery with smaller, narrower blades such as paring knives, vegetable knives, even smaller specialty knives like a bird’s beak knife.

Features:

• Fits narrower blades
• Translucent material lets you see inside for easy identification
• Retention clip is easy-open/easy-close; urethane band stretches to accommodate width of blade

To use the blade guard: make sure the guard is clean and free of debris (debris could scratch your knife). Then place the knife in the guard, sharp edge to the closed side. Attach the retention clip to the closed side of the guard. Finally, stretch the urethane band around and over the knife’s spine, hooking it on the front of the clip. The knife is now held securely within the blade guard for storage. The Kai Blade Guard’s translucent material makes it easy to see which knife is in the guard for quick identification, too.

From the legendary samurai swords, said to contain the soul of the warrior who wielded them, to the handcrafted kitchen knives of today the exquisite craftsmanship of Japanese blades is admired worldwide. Since the13th century, Seki City has been the heart of the Japanese cutlery industry. For more than 100 years, it has also been home to Kai Corporation, the makers of Kai Shun (pronounced ‘shoon’ and rhymes with ‘moon’) fine knives. Inspired by the blade-making traditions of ancient Japan, today’s highly skilled Shun artisans produce blades of unparalleled quality and beauty.
