Blade Guards to Protect Your Knives

Whether you cook often or just once in a while, it's important to practice proper knife maintenance. If you store your knives freely in a kitchen drawer, they're bound to rub up against other tools and utensils that can dull and damage the cutting surface. Protect your investment with blade guards from Williams Sonoma. With a variety of size options available, it's easy to find great covers to use with all your favorite knives.

Williams Sonoma Knife Guards

If you've invested in a premium knife set, you'll want to do everything you can to extend their life. Williams Sonoma's knife guards use durable, high-quality PVC plastic to create a protective layer for sharp blade edges. They're available to fit chef's knives, paring knives, utility knives and slicing knives (knives available separately). Many designs also come in various sizes, allowing you to accommodate blades of different lengths.

The open edge of the guard features an angled notch, making it easy to slip over your clean blades for storage. When you're ready to slice, dice, peel and chop your ingredients, remove the plastic cover with one simple motion. Having these covers on allows you to keep your knives loose in a kitchen drawer without worrying about blade damage. They'll also make it easier to reach in and grab your slicing tools from the drawer or to transport them to a different location, like a friend's house or vacation home.

Knife Guard Sets

In addition to being available individually, you can also find versatile knife guard starter sets (knives available separately). These sets include covers for a 4.5-inch paring, 6.5-inch utility, 8.5-inch chef's and 9.5-inch slicer knife. Sets that include knives and blade guards are also available. They feature a high-carbon stainless steel santoku and a serrated utility knife with plastic sheaths. These collections make great gifts for cooks of all skill levels.

These premium PVC plastic guards come in a variety of size options to cover chef's knives, paring knives, utility knives and slicing knives.
