Sheath for a Super and Safety Skivers

[RBELLO]

Hi Everyone,

I am sure most of you have used or come across the Super Skiver or perhaps its brother the Safety Skiver that looks like a Potato peeler pictured below.

I am trying to figure out how to properly store them without cutting myself every time I reach for either of them.

Don't like the open blade in my work area so I figured I would create a sheath for them so they can be properly stored.

The design is just not coming to me with such an exposed curved blade.

I searched the forums but could not find anything like this so I figured I would ask you kind folks.

Have any of you made a sheath/holder for either one of these or have any suggestions?

Thanks in advanced for your help and recommendations.

Could you make something that covers just the blade area, not the handle? Like those axe-head covers, or the covers for head knives. That would reduce the complexity of trying to work in the angled handle piece. 

I use a rectangular pouch to store my 45mm rotarty cutter after I cut myself reaching for it. It's from soft pebble-grain leather, and it sure isn't fancy.

Something like a tool roll maybe if you have more than one.

I agree Alaisiagae

I should only need to cover the head section that has the blade portion.

Just can't figure out a nice looking wrap around that wont be cut be the curved blade.

chuck123wapati,

A tool roll would work when storing it.

I still would like something I can hang on the wall and get to easier.

But I might have to settle for the tool roll, had not thought of that.

Thanks

Ah! If you want to hang them on a wall, why use a cover at all?

Drill the ends of the handles and hang them on a nail or a hook. fit a short loop of cord if you need to

Or a pouch - cum - holster that you fix to the wall, and just drop the skiver into it

Zuludog,

I like the pouch idea. I don't want to leave it exposed on my wall.

I have limited space so I can see myself reaching for something and if it's on a loop getting sliced with it.

The pouch might work.

I was just wondering if anyone had made a sheath for it or something like it.

Thanks again for the idea.

most tool rolls have holes in each corner to hang on the wall. it could take care of a bunch of your tool storage at once.

Chuck,

I didn't think about hanging the tool roll.

Thanks

Sorry about this but there is another option, when working with sharp tools rule one always remember which is the sharp end.

 

Hope this helps
