Me, too. Concerned about compass, watch, cell-phone, and any other electonics. Wondering if a thinner layer on the blade side and thicker layer[s] on the outside might reduce the magnetic effect enough ....

I will check out the web site, Rich, thanks.

By the way, the magnet[s] in the knife sheath I saw were behind/inside the leather sheath and could not scratch the blade - or anything else.

Still thinking it through.
