I have a saya that is too big (mainly height-wise) for my knife (210 gyuto). the knife just kinda slides around in it and makes me scared that it's going to dull the edge. Any tips or advice for improving the fit?

I wouldn't worry too much about it? You can mark ho wood up with your thumbnail, assuming it's a less expensive universal ho saya I think if you ever notice the knife is much duller than when you last used it you probably haven't cleaned the burr up or have a funky wire edge that would have failed sooner or later anyway.
The last one linked fits my takamura r2 perfectly. I used to be a massive fan of sayas, but they can be delicate or crack. Since I bought these guards I never looked back
Hope this helps
