Leather Knife Case: Protect the Blade and Carry It Safely

A leather case protects both the blade and your hands – ideal for storing your knife safely, or taking it with you. Here's how to use and look after one.

What a Leather Knife Case Is For

It protects the edge at home, and keeps things safe on the way to a barbecue, picnic, camping trip or cookery course. Your knife stays sharp, the blade stays protected, and no one reaches in by accident. Take a look at the kjøk leather knife case.

kjøk's Tip

Always put the knife away clean and dry – that keeps both the blade and the leather in good condition. Moisture trapped inside the case can otherwise lead to staining or rust.

Common Mistakes

Putting away a wet knife is the most common one – the moisture stays trapped in the leather and encourages rust. And constant, strong sunlight will fade the leather and make it brittle; store it somewhere shady instead.

Caring for the Leather

Rub genuine leather with a little leather balm or leather fat now and then, to keep it supple and stop it drying out. Don't let it stay wet for long periods.
