Anyone know where I can get the felt lined blade guards that everyone sells (Carbon, CKTG, etc)? Looking for ones without a logo.

Best in the business is from Shehan. May have a small logo though.
If you’re using reactive knives, I’d suggest cork lined guards over felt. I’ve had issues with felt lined ones and rusting/pitting, as have others. Have had only good experiences with cork and haven’t seen other people having problems either. If anyone’s had problems with cork, please report.

Yeah the felt can trap moisture up against the blade. Okay for moving from place to place, but not longer term storage.
This is all short term, I’ve not a huge fan of the cork guards that shihan sells, as they leave a lot of the blade exposed.

Geez, all mine have logos—Korin, CKC, etc. As a couple have mentioned, I too have had issues with felt lined on carbon knives, major rush issues. Now I just use felt lined for the few stainless knives I have.
I'm a big fan of the ShiHan cork lined ones. However, they can annoyingly loosen and lose their grip. I've had to tighten them by putting under a hot iron.
Do they have to be felt lined?
If it's just temporary, a pair of scissors, a beer/cereal/etc. box and some duct tape can work wonders. Maybe cut up an old t-shirt for a lining?
