Thought I'd share this knife protector with you. I carved the sword hilt knife protector from Kingwood, and a darn hard wood it is. Looks great on the knife though and makes an interesting guard.

looks sweet but 1 q did u make that out of 2 or 1 piece(s)

another way to make a basic holder is you get a thing and thick piece of wood (1/4 inch and 1 inch) and shape a hollow in the 1/4 inch one and put a magnet in the 1 inch one(drill a hole) i use lee valley 1/4 inch diameter magnets and than put a piece of electricians tape over and hey you have a knife holder that actually holds the knife

great blade protector provect bob,

hope you remember which handle works the knife in a cut or die situattion

[Hi_Ho_Sliver]

the problem with using magnets is it magnetizes the blade, so when you sharpen you get all these little iron fuzzies that are hard to get rid of!

[Lightningbolt]

Well, that's about as fancy a knife protector as I've ever seen! Great job Bob!!

HI HO Silver
I have a magnetized cover and considered the potential problem before I added it. I've never experienced any problems I couldn't wipe away. I really like the results, at least so far.

If you have a problem with magnetized blades,,,,here is an easy and inexpensive solution.

This little Wiha unit works great. I agree when sharpening, the magnetized particles (fuzzies) are a nusance to remove from the blade and stone.
