Question

[starrrie.livejournal.com]

Hello my fellow crafties!

I've recently become a raw foodist, and have come to realize that my friends do not have knives well suited to preparing my food. When I visit I end up bringing my own, and wrapping it (a large cleaver that I use for opening coconuts) in a towel. While this works I'd like to have something more tailored and safe.

Other than leather (personal choice not to use this), does anyone have an idea what to make it out of? The knife is *very* sharp so it will have to be something that can take the slicing. Also, anyone have ideas on *how* to make it? I don't know much about knives and have never seen a "protector" like what I'm thinking about.


Thanks for any suggestions you have!
