Bisbell/zwilling magnetic blade guard any good ?

[HappyamateurDK]

Hallo.

As mentioned in earlier threads I am searching for a good and protective way to store my knifes in a drawer. That unfortunately is to low for most "in drawer" solutions.

So now I consider some kind of blade guard and simply laying the knifes on a kitchen towel. Anyone familiar with the zwilling/bisbell magnetic blade guards? Are they any good, will they protect the blade without scratching or dulling the edge ?
It is these ones I am talking about

Thanks, and have a nice weekend

I haven't used those guards, but I'd be worried about the complexity of the design. Awkward to use, I suspect.

I have bunch of felt-lined blade guards, which work fine. There are lots of different manufacturers making that style.

Magnetic guards and carbon or semi-stainless are not a good idea.
Any accidental moisture could be a disaster

^^That's a given for any guard.

Felt lined ones keep moist. Consider making your own, with cardboard and duct tape.

The glue has given way between the flexible magnet and plastic case on every magnetic guard I have had.

Adhesives and commercial kitchens many times don't go together well

I ended up with this solution instead of the blade guards..works great. Unfortunately it only holds the knifes I use the most.
