Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Victorinox Cutlery BladeSafe for 8-Inch to 10-Inch Knife BladesCustomer Review: works well, but one size too big for the Victorinox 47520 knife... Summary: 4 Stars
Looking to protect a Victorinox 47520 knife, I debated between this Forschner/Victorinox protective case, which is designed for Victorinox knives up to 10 inches long, and the shorter Victorinox 47302 Cutlery BladeSafe for 6-Inch to 8-Inch Knife Blades case. I ended up getting the longer case, mainly because it was about half the price. While this case certainly does a fine job of protecting the 8 inch long 47520 knife, the extra two inches in length is a little inconvenient. Unfortunately for me, the shorter one wasn't the cheaper one.
Although it is long, this case does accommodate the 47520 knife quite well. The knife seats nicely, and the two sets of small rubber inserts inside the case, provides a firm grip on the blade that keeps it from sliding. As some have noted, the rubber inserts can put marks on the blade. I applied a little silicon spray to the rubber, and this seems to help with reducing the severity of the marks on the blade. If you try this, be sure to wash the blade before use.
The overall design of the case is fairly good, although the width could probably be safely reduced a bit. The case is pretty rigid, reinforced by bands on the inside of the case. The two latches that secure the case are easy to operate, and would probably take a long time to wear down. The thin plastic hinge, hopefully will have a long life. The exterior of the case has a slightly textured finish that may help provide a little better grip.
While a custom made case like this is not a must have accessory, it is a pretty cool way to protect your blade, either in the kitchen drawer or when transporting. It is very well made, and an especially attractive buy at around six bucks.
