I need to find a completely enclosed knife sheaths that would work with both
large rectangular Chinese chefs knives, or a butcher's cleaver. Example of
the size and shape I am trying to protect:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00004RFR9

The simple edge guards that are sold online slip off too easy, particularly
if you are traveling with the knife to a class. I want something that will
fit over the blade and then cleanly strap to all sides of the knife so it is
impossible to come off accidentally. Does anyone make that?

Have a sewing machine?
Leather, real or fake or heavy vinyl. Fold over, sew two sides and a
snap on the handle end. Plain and simple, 5 minutes. More fancy or
elegant maybe 30 to 60 minutes.

I know nothing about sewing and I would really rather keep it that way

It's a class on using chef's knives, and you are supposed to bring your
"favorites" so....

Bah. It's just another power tool. My husband owned a sewing machine
when we met. I can use a sliding compound miter saw--why can't you use
a sewing machine?

Cindy, good question for the OP. My sons are 47 and 50, and they both had sewing
in high school, and the girls had shop. Both were required classes for one semester.
I think they did away with those requirements some time ago, which is a shame. My
oldest went ahead on his own and made himself a couple Oxford cloth button-down
long-sleeved shirts after the class ended. He did a good enough job that they looked
like ready-made.

Early part of the last century my father went to sea as a boy and
earned extra money darning socks and doing mending, his mother had
taught him to assist her busy life and he always said she taught him
skills that were every bit as useful as those he was learning as a
sailor. I don't understand why some men perceive these skills as
purely 'feminine'

Not all that easy. When my daughter was young, I sewed her some special
pillowcases. I did a good job with them but it wasn't easy. And that was
just a rectangle. Anyone that can sew clothes and make them
good....well...that's a talent that doesn't come easy.

I do all kinds of sewing, by hand and machine... I sew leather all the
time; boots, gloves, wallets, pen cases, etc., they often just need a
few stitches of sailmakers twine, better then throwing away and buying
new... I have sets of sailmakers needles (triangular) and a sailmakers
palm. A protective knife sheath is easy to make; a friend who works
as a butcher makes his own knife sheaths from heavy corrogated
cardboard lashed together with fancy knotting of butcher's twine... I
made a couple I've been using for many years, I coated it inside and
out with beeswax. Everyone in the navy learns to sew and do fancy
knotwork... how else will you sew on buttons without your mommy?
Everyone in the military is issued a sewing kit. My sewing kit at
home is a large toolbox.
