Cardboard Saya guide

[M1k3]

Nothing high tech or expensive here. Just thought I'd share my method of making cardboard Saya's.

Step 1: Measure how wide you need to make your first fold (spine should be towards the fold, opposite what my picture shows. Makes folding it straight much easier).

Step 2: Fold over.

Step 3: Fold over again.

Step 4: Cut off excess cardboard.

Step 5: This step might be optional. Depends on the shape of the knife and handle junction. Trim to shape, so all of the blade fits in the Saya.

Step 6: Mark off what you need to cut.

Step 7: Tape the Saya together.

Step 8: Ta-da!

does this work for normal wood as well? Is that how they make them?

Yeah but that last fold is tricky.

Are your forearms more like The Hulk, when he's enraged?

Or more like Napoleon Dynamite?

Maybe like Napoleon if he's been lifting for 6 months...

Maybe with enough tenacity, or PBR/Natty light, you could use this method with wood.
