Mercer Knife & Tool Storage

The 10 x 2-inch guard fits 10-inch chef’s knives and slicers, the longer blades that are hardest to carry safely. It covers the full edge and the tip, which is where a long knife is most likely to cut through a bag or a hand.The ABS shell is rigid, and the felt lining lets the blade slide in cleanly without marring the finish. Use it in a knife roll, a toolbox or a drawer.
Other SizesFor a shorter chef’s knife, see the 8 x 2-inch guard. For blades taller than 2 inches, the 11-inch X-Wide Edge Guard gives more room. Learn More

This guard is sized for the 8-inch chef’s knife at the center of most kits. The 2-inch width takes the heel of a standard Western chef’s knife, and the length covers the edge from heel to tip.Inside the impact-resistant ABS shell is a felt lining that keeps the blade from scratching as it slides in. With the guard on, the knife can share a drawer or a bag with other tools without dulling its edge or cutting anyone who reaches in.
Other SizesFor a 10-inch chef’s knife, use the 10 x 2-inch guard. Taller blades, such as a gyuto with a deep heel, may fit better in the 9-inch X-Wide Edge Guard. Learn More

The 6 x 2-inch guard covers wider 6-inch blades, such as a short chef’s knife, a utility knife or a small santoku. The extra width accommodates a taller heel that a 1-inch guard cannot take.Like the rest of Mercer’s felt-lined guards, it pairs a rigid ABS shell with a soft felt lining, so the blade face stays unmarked and the edge stays away from other tools in a drawer or roll.
Other SizesFor an 8-inch chef’s knife, choose the 8 x 2-inch guard; for a slim 6-inch boning knife, the 6 x 1-inch guard. Learn More

The 6 x 1-inch guard is sized for narrow blades: 6-inch boning knives, fillet knives and other slim knives that rattle around in a wider sheath. A snug fit keeps the knife from sliding out of the guard in a bag or a drawer.The ABS exterior shields the edge and your fingers, and the felt lining keeps the blade surface free of scratches as it goes in and out. It suits a butcher’s or a fishmonger’s kit as well as a home drawer.
Other SizesFor a wider 6-inch blade, such as a utility or small chef’s knife, use the 6 x 2-inch guard. Every size is listed in the Details. Learn More

This felt-lined guard fits a paring knife with a blade up to 4 inches, a standard piece of any culinary student’s kit. The rigid ABS shell keeps the tip from poking through a knife roll or a drawer, and the felt inside lets the blade slide in and out without scratching its face.A guard also protects the edge. A paring knife loose in a drawer knocks against other tools, and that contact dulls a fine edge quickly. Slip the guard on whenever the knife is put away or packed for class.
Other SizesMercer makes the same guard for longer blades, including the 6 x 1-inch boning knife guard and the 8 x 2-inch chef’s knife guard. All sizes are compared in the Details. Learn More

The Triple-Zip Knife Case is Mercer’s large carrier for a cook with a growing collection.

The extra pockets keep gadgets from rattling against blades.
Choosing a CaseFor a larger collection, the Triple-Zip Knife Case adds two more compartments. A lighter option is the 7-Pocket Knife Roll. Learn More

It suits a culinary student’s first set, a line cook who carries only a few personal knives, or a home cook taking knives to a class or a friend’s kitchen.Each knife sits in its own elastic pocket, and the case closes with hook and loop.
