Demagnetize my blade?
First of all I just want to say hi to everyone been a long time since I visited and I'm glad to see the site is running strong.
I like most of us here love to experiment with new ideas. So I decieded that I wanted to make a pocket sheath for my small fixed blade. I made it so that it would clip to my pocket in the same place that I would normally clip my folder. Instead of using a metal clip I used two magnets, one on a flap for the outside of my poket and one on the side of the sheath for it to grab....hard to explain... Works great. Now I can carry a fixed blade with the same discretion as a folder. Anyhow the only problem is that my knife is now magnatized. Always picking up stray bit of metal which is annoying. How can I demagnitize it? Of course this means I'll have to go to a clip if I want it to stay demagnetized. The blade is of S30V if that makes any difference. Thanks all... |

The proper term is degauss. They do make machines for this but you could probably find plans to make one yourself. Do a computer search.

You might try a good jewely store that does watch repair. Ask them if they can demagnitize it for you. Older watches with the completely mechanical movement would sometimes get magnitized. My dad and I would take them to a jeweler who hac a gizmo to degauss the watch. They'd work great until I'd magnitize them again.....
