I posted this on Knots, but no one seemed interested, so I thought maybe I'd find some more die hard galoots over here (i.e., folks more tolerant of crazy simple and esoteric hand tools topics).
In the vein of tool cabinets, shooting boards, and sharpening stone boxes, one comes across small shop made implements to keep exposed blades covered on various hand tools - leather sheathes, wood holders and covers, etc. I'm always looking for good solutions - just like storage (tool boxes and cabinets) or sharpening etc. Aldren Watson has some of this kind of thing in the appendix of "Hand Tools; their ways and workings." Anyway, here are a few of mine, for what it may be worth. I'd be interested in seeing any other tool keeping sorts of stuff if you all have any to share.
