creative. Knife protector wooden.

[preprius]

Okay a woodened knife sheath.

My neighbor has a Sushi knife that they wanted something to protect the knife edge.   8" long blade with thin < 0.125 thick blade. 

i sketched the blade and cut 1/8" thick wood.  Then sandwhiched it with 2 other pieces 1/8" wood Paduak. 

The nieghbor chose the cutout to expose the blade.

Too simple for braging rights. 

Paduak wood for outer layers. 

Changed title added creative. Maybe more looked at.

Very nice.  With a blade like that I would want to show it off as well.

While not super complicated,it is NOT too simple for bragging rights. 

This might have inspired a new cutter to step outside their comfort zone. I know this is not something I would have envisioned.

So I expanded the shapes of the sheaths a bit.   Since Sushi knives cut fish,  and other knives cut fish, so i created a fish shape. 

And 2 other knife sheaths for my son.  

There are other other playful words associated with folding knives and fish.  The sides of the folding knives (handles) are called scales. 

The scales shown on the fish sheath are rotory tool carved.  So are the gills. 

other wood techniques use a router to make the blade cavity.  But scrollsaw with center board seems simpler. 

So I had fun just testing the concept. and adding texture to the wood.

Sometimes there is great creativity and talent involved in creating a simple, elegant solution to a problem; especially if the solution perfectly meets the end users needs/wants.  

All the sheaths look nice and are great.
