Properly selected protective covers significantly extend the life of knives and contribute to maintaining high safety standards in the kitchen.

Types of knife sheaths

Professional kitchen knife sheaths vary in design and construction materials. Each type of knife sleeve has its advantages and peculiarities, depending on the specifics of kitchen work.

Materials of manufacture

Modern knife covers are made of the following materials:

• Polymer composites;
• Heat-resistant plastic;
• Reinforced nylon;
• Special technical fabrics.

After choosing the material, it is important to consider the size and shape of the sheath. When removing the tool, a quality sheath knife holder should fit snugly around the blade without creating additional friction.

Recommendations for use

To ensure the long service life of sheath knife holders, certain rules of operation must be followed. First, it is crucial to regularly sanitize the sheaths using special disinfectants approved for use in the food industry.

During storage, avoid exposure to direct sunlight and high temperatures, which can deform the material. It is also essential to periodically inspect the covers for damage and replace worn elements promptly.

Special attention should be paid to the correct placement of knives in the sheaths:

• The knife should be clean and dry before placing it in the sheath;
• Insert and remove the knife with smooth movements;
• Do not allow foreign objects to get into the sheath;
• Store knife sheaths in a designated area.
