Question About the Knife Sharpening Cases

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers around the functionality of knife sharpening cases, specifically the clicking mechanism that secures knives in place. Users confirm that a chef's knife should click into place within its case, indicating proper functionality. In contrast, a utility knife that fails to click and falls out suggests a defect, warranting a replacement under the lifetime warranty policy. Participants emphasize the importance of contacting the manufacturer, HO, for resolution.

I noticed that my chefs knife kind of clicks when I put inside the case...(clicks into place-gets held in-does that make sense) but my utility knife is no longer doing that, and it falls out.

Am I imagining things?? is it supposed to stay in?? or is that just a fluke on my chef knife?

I feel so dumb asking this! :eek: :D
 
My Utility Knife "clicks into place" too, so I would call HO and get it replaced. Lifetime warranty! :)
