Lately I've started using magnets to hold my most used knives. Quick access and in a box, dust free. This box is what I made years ago when it would hold most of what I needed. Not so any more but I still keep the box for some things.

That's almost too simple. Thanks.

Looks good. Clean and functional. I also love that 1911. They're a great piece. How is it to draw without the toe being anchored to your belt or anything?

Your choice to go with the Tandy starter set is a good one. I did that many years ago and still find myself using some of those first ones.True, I've added a whole lot of other stamps over the years but still find myself using a few of those first ones.

Pastor Bob posted a photo of a Chartermade skiving knife. I find that type of knife the easiest to use. Pushing gives much better control than pulling or working sideways. Here are photos of two I made but you can find manufactured ones of both designs. The one has a hole in it because I made it from a circular saw blade. Of course, the other one is also made from a saw blade, possibly the same one.

Looks like a very usable design. Nice work. Great wood, too.

LOL, I fall in the "Other" categories for everything.

That's a good selection. No two look the same so it should be easy to grab the right one every time. They look great.

I have an identical wet grinder to Tim's. It's outstanding for stropping. Even at 90 rpm, I don't like a wheel pushing the knife towards me so I turned the grinder around so it rolls up and over away from me. It's really easy to strop on the top of the leather wheel that way. Yeah, that puts the switch on the back but it's not hard to reach at all. To use the grinder wheel, I can always turn it back around. I have it mounted to a cast iron floor stand and it's rock solid, too.

A big thumbs-up for this! Very nice work.

Your bar stool is so much better looking than the original ones. Good job on it. The other two should go easier now that you have one under your belt.

Those are beautiful. Love the Saint Michael one, especially.

Looking mighty good. I look forward to seeing the completed rig.

I had to work hard to get that splotchy look to a finish one time. Looks good.

Thanks for replacing the image, Northmount. I'm sure others appreciate it, too. I use one of these knives for bleed knots.
