Messermeister 8.5" Edge Guard
Protection That Opens Around the Blade
The magnetic construction closes around the knife, so the sharpened edge does not need to slide through a conventional cover. Soft rubber magnets hold the blade gently in place, while leather pull tabs make the guard easy to open when you need the knife.
At 8.5 inches long and 2.125 inches wide when closed, this size is designed for chef's, Santoku, Nakiri, and carving knives with blades measuring 8 inches or less.

8.5-inch format
