Adrian, I use 2 dowels stuck in a board. I cut a slot in the first one for the blade to rest in. It is the shorter dowel. I cut the taller dowel to the slope of the handle to rest it on. Works great. Of course, the wood has to be either stained or painted.

PS Also, a piece of driftwood like Tom uses works great too.

This is one beautiful knife! Now, if you just pressure flake that edge, and make sharper than a razor.....................just kidding. It is too beautiful to do that to it.

Adrian:
You are something else, not much into knives, but sure can appreciate all the hard work that went into that. It looks so shiny, very cool

Flawless job on the knife Adrian. I have tried obsidian and had bad results. You got a mirrior shine that's really impressive. Look forward to seeing your next one, great job:)
