As I’ve told you before, I love my super sharp kitchen knives and they have me so spoiled that whenever I travel away from home and need to prepare food, I end up struggling with whatever knives are available because they are always dull. Whether it’s vacation, camping, or just visiting friends, I always end up wishing I’d brought at least one of my knives with me, but I never could find a practical and safe way to do so.

So I was delighted when Jo gave me some new Wüsthof knife guards for my birthday (which was yesterday, yay!). They are available in a variety of sizes (and in white) and they totally do the trick! The sturdy plastic sleeves slip securely onto the knife blade and don’t slide off. I am amazed at how well they hold on and how secure they feel. The sharp point and blade are completely covered, safe, and ready for travel.

I can’t wait until the next time I go camping and can actually take a good knife with me. Prepping food will be so much easier!

By the way, these guards are also great if you store your knives in a kitchen drawer. Rather than risk losing a finger every time you reach in there to find a utensil, get a couple of these guards for your knives and then root around without fear. I personally use wall-mounted magnetic knife bar for most of my knives at home, but my good carving knife is in a drawer and is now protected with one of these guards.
