The Large Glestain Knife Case holds up to 11 knives in a locking, hard-sided case, for chefs who carry a full kit to work. At 21 inches long, it takes long slicers and gyutos as well as paring and utility knives, each in its own slot.
The built-in wooden dividers are shaped for Western-style knives, which means a sujihiki, a gyuto or any Glestain fits a slot. Traditional single-bevel Japanese knives with wa handles, such as a yanagi, are thicker at the handle and should be laid in the open trough instead. The soft fabric lining keeps edges from rubbing on hard surfaces in transit.
Metal latches close the case, and a lock and key keep a valuable set secure in a shared locker or a busy kitchen.
Choosing a Case Size
For a smaller kit, the Medium Glestain Knife Case holds up to 8 knives and the Small Glestain Knife Case holds a few. All three are the same length.
