Edge Guard
I got a small kitchen knife and needed something to protect the knife edge to keep it in a drawer.
I was going to buy a $6 edge guard from the knife brand but the shipping was $20 so I decided to make it.
It was a super quick project.
It has small magnets inside.
Thank you!

Pretty! Now all the other knives are jealous?

Thank you Dave! It's ok, I have only 2 kitchen knives including this small one!

One of the best parts of woodworking is solving "problems" - and this project is a great example. Great job, and I'm sure much nicer than any you would have purchased.
Nice YRTi, good idea with the magnets.
Great solution and as always, beautiful execution!
My one "worthy" knife that sits in a drawer has a vinyl hose with a slit that slips over the edge. Makes me think it could be looking a lot better now with your idea 🤔

BB1, thank you! Yap, that's the fun part! I sometimes create a new problem by solving the original problem but that's life:)
MikeB, Thank you! the magnet works good!
Splinter, Thank you and that's actually a good idea! I should try it for my marking knife, haha.

I think it’s the cat’s meow! How did you make it. Did you glue a shim or spacer between the scales or sides of the sheath?
What size magnets did you use and did you use epoxy to hold them or the cups that are sometimes included with magnet sets?

That is just the ticket. Not only does it protect the edge, but it looks great too. Well done sir!

DrQuackner, Thank you. I made it from 3 pieces. Outer side pieces are 1/4” and I put 2 of 2mm thick/5mm round magnets on each piece. the middle piece is 1/8” and I cut out the shape of the knife blade. Then, I glued them to finish.
Brit, Thank you! it was a super quick project.
