wood knife sheath
« on: June 24, 2013, 12:34:56 pm »
well I just got done with my version of the wood knife sheath made from one piece of koa
it was  cut in half then routed both of the cut sides then lined with felt then glued the to sides back to gather then finish shaping then came the winding of the string and attaching the leather belt loop and sew that to gather
                               
                  thanks for looking

Nice. Any magnets in this version?

After your last one, I checked my knife kits. They all say they are stainless steel, but they are also all attracted to a magnet (most SS is non-magnetic).

I checked - 440A, 440B, and 440C (generally any 400 series stainless steel) will be attracted by a magnet. 300 series SS (308, 316) are not attracted by a magnet. My knife blank was 440A SS, so it should be (and is) attracted by a magnet.
