Masking Tape

It's been a while since I posted a tip from the stump, so I thought that I would share this one.

Tip from the Stump: When I sharpen my knives, I wrap a small piece of masking tape around the handle like the picture below:

The tape is enough to keep from damaging the handle during the sharpening process.  It's a simple solution to a simple problem, but hey, I'm a simple guy.  So, protect your knife handle with a piece of tape and keep that glossy finish looking like new.
