Waste of money for Painting knives

I purchased these knife covers for use in my Arts and Crafts class, but found them to be of poor quality. Through trial and error, I found that they do not fit most of my knives and are too flimsy to protect them from damage. The only positive aspect is that they come in assorted colors, but that doesn't make up for their lack of functionality.

Pros
  • Assorted colors
Cons
  • Poor quality, doesn't fit most knives.

It's good. Mine came with damaged packaging and mostly .

They're good. Mine arrived with damaged packaging and most of the product was missing. The seller immediately replaced. The product itself is ok. The little tips of the sponge are already torn off and unrolled, so they don't last as long. However, they are great for applying pastel colors. I'll have to get more advice.

Pros
  • KNIFE SHEETS - Innovative knife sleeves are made from our microporous sponge and are specifically sized for use with soft knives. Replacement packs of covers available
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Foam covers crumbs almost instantly

Tried them out for a few hours yesterday to spread pan pastel pigments (which they often sell with). While the concept is good (different shapes for different purposes), the actual quality of the foam cases leaves a lot to be desired. They begin to crumble within minutes of use. And all you do with it is,

Pros
  • MICROPOROUS SPONGE - Made from our specially formulated semi-absorbent microporous sponge material and engineered for PanPastel Colors, the sponge holds and releases just the right amount of color every time, is non-abrasive for a smooth, even finish and can also be used with Water based art supplies
Cons
  • thin
