Neat idea.

Many many many years ago, I made thumb nails. Carved a bunch of thumbs and but tacks in them and then cut the head off of the tacks and sharpened the ends. Over the years people have seen them when visiting and have taken them all. Guess I need to carve some more.


Great idea though for a knife blade protector.

I like it.

You could also cut the head off a brad, insert it in the end and call it a "thumb tack".
