So, I had a think and came up with this. Others may already do it but I have never seen anything like it myself. ( It may be of use to others in different circumstances hence the post )
As a possible improvement I thought of making an aluminium plate with a 16mm hole to fit on the cutting surface so that it would be impossible to deform the wood with the knife. I would reduce the thickness of the block accordingly.
Well, there you have it - no measuring every case, no worries about cutting an angle and no danger of shortening your finger by rolling the case on the knife blade.
) it is obvious that this is an amalgamation of different parts and although the price is very interesting, the cost of replacing the parts that are wrong ( front band, nose cap and cleaning rod plus a dodgy stamping on the lock )
