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

Don't be sorry, I totally agree.

I also understand and believe that sharp items should be secured.

I don't get cut when I use them, it happens when reaching for something around it or if they are on the workbench I don't want the blade getting damaged.

But I do appreciate your insight. ; )

Put them somewhere in plan sight or somewhere you have to make a point of going to get them, again not a good idea reaching around for sharp tools.

I have some fairly rigid white foam . . . cut a round hole in it . . . stuck it down in there.  Took all of 15 seconds . . . the solution will outlast me . . . by decades . . . unless someone comes in after I'm worm food and tosses it.

Or cut the bottom off a long skinny pill jar . . . screw the lid to a board . . . put the bottle down into the lid . . . drop the skiver into the bottle. . .  done.

May God bless,

Dwight

Nice and simple.

Thanks

Possibly make a hard slip-on cover from hand-shaped thermoset plastic (goes by different names, Shapelock for example, becomes malleable around 60C in hot water)?

I have a similar problem and an idea: Would a magnetic knife holder (the things normally on kitchen walls) work for the cutting tools?

[DJole]

I use a leather "canister" (like a map tube) to store my skiver and Xacto knives in. Keeps the sharp side away from my fingers!

I never thought there was enough exposed blade on either of them to worry about. The safety skiver I just pulled a HEAVY knotted thong through the handle and hang on the pegboard. The other one hangs in a pegboard loop. 45 years and nary a scratch. My head knife and Japanese skiver on the other hand both have sheaths. Not for fear of cuts, but to protect the edges.
