No, but you could buy a demagnetizer. Then you would have a real shop.:D

It's bad - I don't know if I received a nuclear-powered magnet by accident but I can pick up screws with my first few knives. :confused:

I won't use it again - I get a fingernail trim now.
 
Hmm. I can't say I have that problem unless I were to leave it on the magnet for a while.

are you using a magnet to hold your knives while grinding?
 
When I tried using a magnet I ended up having to buy a demagnitizer. It drove me nuts with all the metal filings sticking to the blade.

I really learned to hate that magnet. It ruined a lot of knives for me. I know some guys swear by them, I swore at mine.
 
I really don't want to use a demagnetizer - the search for a smaller magnet continues.

You'd think Sheffield/Jantz/TKS would carry a small magnet. Nope, just more big ones. huh1
 
I might have another in my tool box i will look around. i have had that one for years. if i do i will send you one..
 
All of my knives get magnetized when I use my magnet to grind the flats. They pick up screws, stick to eachother and never let go of grinding dust. I bought a demagnetizer from ebay (I think) It works great.
