Hey all,
I wanted some covers for my knives for my knife roll so I started looking around. Wood sayas where my preferred cover, and I was going to make some but lack a workshop (I have all the tools, they sit in my dad's garage, far from where I live). Next was thinking of buying some plastic covers, but they were $10 each (I know not a lot of money, especially when the knives are worth 10-20x that much. But I have so many knives...).
So I thought to myself I could probably come up with something that I could make myself that looked decent and would do the trick. I reused some #2 plastic from the recycling (laundry detergent containers) to use for the backing\form of the cover. I had to buy spray adhesive, jean material, felt, heavy duty thread, needles ($30) and found some string lying around the house. It took me about 45 mins to make it. I made a 2nd one later and it turned out much better. Here's pics of the prototype\first one I made.
