I want to stress again that these magnets are dangerous. I have blood blisters from two of the smaller type snapping together and catching part of my finger! These were an inch in diameter. You will not believe how fast they can come together.

I also suggest that a magnet strong enough to hold a sword can attract the sword blade quickly and cause the blade to cut you. And without some kind of padding, cloth or thin wood, they can scratch fine, polished blades.

With a few safety precautions these work very well, but always be careful. I found out the hard way!
