Used Auto Parts New JerseyQ.Then I needed a "travelling" sheath for my cleaver and thought: why not? I made a sheath out of an Alpen box which on the face of it appears pretty strong (I would not want to take it into the jungle or such like, but for the purpose it was designed it will more than do). Then I got to thinking and looked at some of the "cordura nylon" sheaths on some of the knives in my possession (Cold Steel mainly) and thought to myself: The nylon only covers some other substance. Is this in fact cardboard? This brought up following questions: 1) Does anyone knows what is underneath the nylon in the cheap sheaths? 2) Has anyone seriously made sheaths from cardboard and used them? 3) Apart from nylon, is there anything one could use cheaply and easily to cover the cardboard to improve esthtics? I was thinking even laminating, but Snap, Crackle and Pop will still show through A.I made blade covers from chipboard for a boxfull of junky knives so their edges wouldn't bang together, and so I could rummage around inside the box without needing a transfusion. Fold, staple, trim. So far, so good. I don't recomend leaving the box in a damp basement for years, especially if it is damp enough to actually condense on the walls. Chipboard (and, I assume, corrugated) holds moisture very well indeed. I mostly used auto parts boxes. By the way, my wet basement was in New Jersey, not Washington state. We had hot, humid summers and my basement was burrowed into a hillside that kept the walls quite cool. There was no way to close off the basement from the rest of the house, so it condensed the humidity out of every breeze that entered any window. Drip, drip. Maybe I should have folded the chipboard glossy-painted-side-in. I suspect the coating would have provided a little bit of a mositure barrier. Since realizing that I had unwittingly invented a way to perform accelerated corrosion testing, I've also thought about glueing waxed paper to the insides. Instead, I threw away the rusty, musty chipboard covers and now store the box in a drier place. For now, I just wrap some newsprint around the blades and tape it down. That's good enough to protect my fingers if I'm carefull, and takes up less room than the chipboard covers did. (Chipboard usually has one unpainted surface and is what breakfast cereal and Ritz Cracker boxes are made of. Corrugated is much thicker, full of glue, and has an "S-flute" inner layer Other Questions : Used Auto Parts CtI am looking for the all silver snowflake wheels with the exposed bolts.
