What is the material inside the case that the knives lay on? And will it form to whatever shape knife I place on it?

Its foam. It comes with two layers. It wont form to the shape of the knife. Take out the second layer if you plan on sticking thicker knifes like a benchmade grip

The material is like a foam, it does not form to the shape of the knife. It's basically a cushion to help hold in place, but it does not keep them in place.

It is foam -you can adjust the thickness by either removing or using double foam, the knives will be held in place, and yes, the foam will form the shape of the knives. It's a nice case, we like a lot.

Hello, Yes I would always suggest using blade guards. If you're looking at this case you're serious about your knives.Knives move around a bit in most of the cases I've use, and I purchased this one because I ran out of room in my last case.It hold everything I need it to. The one problem I have with this case is, the empty slots, so now I need to buy more knives/gear!Good luck with your search, you won't be disappointed if you choose this one.Ciao!

I see someone replied for the dimensions. I wrote a review about preventing the rods from splitting and bending. As of today, I have yet to bend one or see any shavings coming out of my block using the care I described. I love mine still! It looks great on my counter... If it helps, for large knives I have a chef knife, a santoku, a bread knife, a utility knive and two slicing knives. I have 4 smaller knives, two of which are paring knives. I also have two pairs of kitchen shears. I wouldn't put anything else in it. The largest blades do stick out a little but it's never been an issue. There is enough room that things wiggle in easily. Hope that helps! I see someone replied for the dimensions. I wrote a review about preventing the rods from splitting and bending.

My wife and I have one of those as well. Unfortunately it doesn't fit very well. The best knives to keep in it are Chef's, boning, paring or other long, thin bladed knives.

I was curious about this question and I conducted a quick experiment. I got a plastic ziplock bag and put it in between the knife and the magnet to try to simulate the plastic sheath. Here are the results with the various size chef's knives 12 inch - knife slid right off 10 inch - knife slid right off 8 inch - knife slides a little, then stays still I probably wouldn't trust it with the plastic sheaving on it.

Mine came with a small plastic white cover for the blade when not in use. Switch the knob to the slice setting and the chopping blades are safely hidden underneath. Then slip the cover over the exposed slicing blade.

It has a piece of fitted, cardboard-type covering over the blade portion of the knife. I always store my knife in this wrapping when I am done using it.

Hi Sue,I have a magnetic knife strip. It's perfect for holding the knives so they aren't banging around in a drawer and safer too. Hope this helps.

I put all my knives in a lined drawer. I don't use knife holders. I do love these knives.

The knife will fit but it is a tight fit and caution will be needed at all times because it is held on by friction and has no hard plastic liner. However, the leather is THICK, and nicely tanned. Vegetable tanned, I believe.

Theres a spot on the knife where the blade folds in, theres a small metal like bar in the middle of the bottom end of the blade, push it to one side and it should fold into place.

It is just a piece of metal that magnets stick to. It would not hold knives.

Hi, my suggestion is to get a ruler, which I did and checked online the dimensions of what I had purchased to put inside this case. The second part to your question I can not answer because that is a sellers responsibility to provide that information.

I used the sleeves that came on the knives. I was a meat cutter before retirement and used the plastic that was on the knife. The sleeves on the case are mesh and the blade will need a cover. Worked very well for carrying knives to the different stores I worked at.

If they're made of foam, I don't see why not. As far as being worth the money, that would depend on how often you use it. It's not cheap, but it does work well. For the money, I would have thought they could have found a better case to keep it in, though. The knife just rattles around in the case I got.
