Most knife guards are designed for kitchen drawers. The Blade Guard™ 4" is designed for everywhere else — camping trips, RV kitchens, backpacks, cooler bags, and travel kits where an open-top guard can let a blade slide out and become a hazard. The fully enclosed, hinged locking design snaps securely around your paring knife and stays locked until you intentionally open it. No friction fit. No exposed tip. No surprises when you reach into your pack.
Made in the USA from BPA-free, food-safe polypropylene. Dishwasher safe. Frosted so you can see the blade inside without opening the guard.
⚠️ Why locking matters: Open-top guards rely on friction to stay on. In a backpack, cooler bag, or RV drawer, that friction can fail when the knife shifts or gets jostled. The Blade Guard™ locking tabs keep the blade fully enclosed under pressure, vibration, and movement — the way a guard should work outside the kitchen.
The 4" is the guard most camp cooks forget — until they reach into their kit and nick a finger on an unguarded paring knife. Pair it with the 6", 8", and 10" guards, or get all four sizes in the Blade Guard™ 4-Piece Chef’s Set. Carry everything in the Waxed Canvas Knife Roll — water-resistant and built for the outdoors.

I have been very happy with my Tomato Craters. They were easy to install and have helped keep the area around my plants neat and weed-free. My tomatoes have stayed healthy and productive all season, and watering has been much more efficient. Great product for any vegetable garden!
I am always skeptical of new products, but whoever designed this certaily thought thru the actual installation. I've had wood trellises replaced year after year because the weather (mostly water) beats them up, and I spend gobs on trying to keep my plants the way I like them. As avid vegetable and flower gardener, these make the installation of stakes and trellises so easy and keeps the wood preserved. Kudo's - great design.
I managed to install the rain gauge just before a storm. It worked great! Our garden is so happy!
I took some roses from a flower arrangement, and stuck them 8” into soil. Then, I watered with MitoGrow. Now I have cut roses growing in my backyard!

We camp every summer and have used cardboard to protect our sharp knives and our fingers, but have had multiple close calls (from getting cut). So we purchased the 4-piece set of these blade guards and are impressed the safe, non-slip design. The blade does not rattle in an enclosed shell, but rather is held snuggly in the case by two tight pads on both sides of the blade (4 total pads, see photo). Another reviewer mentioned that the guard is hard to open, but that is because the blade is held tightly, which we like. If you are looking to protect your knives (and your fingers!), buy these guards. KB
This product is great working outside. Held cords together when cleaning out boat.
These are probably among the easiest and most effective garden tools that you can use. They store easily, they install easily, they perform great--making it easy to water, keep out bugs and weeds and increase your yield with no chemicals. I only used them for my tomatoes this year, but next year, will use them for other plants as well. My tomatoes are in raised beds and they are thriving and full of fruit thanks to the craters!
Also - you can't beat the customer service at FLI. They are responsive, quick to ship and very customer centered. All in all, a great find.
The first photo below shows two of my plants just after planting and adding the craters. The other three are recent photos.
