First off gather your tools and materials the list isn't too long
-Swiss Army Pocket Knife(a knife like the one in the picture will do)
-Magnets(Neodymium is best I got mine out of a hard drive)
-Hot glue gun(self explanatory)
-Dremel(any carving tool will do but a Dremel works faster)
-screw driver or butter knife(something to pry with)
Break the Knife

The first step towards making you knife stick to a refrigerator is to remove the front or back of the knife. to do this take a flat blade screwdriver or butter knife, slide it under the cover and twist. The cover should come off easily enough.
Mark the Cover

I noticed when I was uploading the image that the marks I made weren't very noticeable so i used pixlr to make it clearer.
this step is pretty self explanitory mark where the magnets are going and get ready to carve it out
Carve It Out

for this I used my Dremel. I first used a carving bit but later decided to use a sanding bit this step does take a little trial and error. all you have to do is carve down a little than check if the magnets are flush with the base
Time to Glue

I personally like to use hot glue but some may decide to use liquid nails or gorilla glue, first i tried to put hot glue on the cover than put the cover on the knife but i got screwed up and i had to remove a lot of hot glue. in the end i placed the magnets on the knife first than the cover to check that the two were flush,after that i placed glue in between and squished them together till the glue cooled
All Done!!

at this point i went to the refrigerator and stuck my freshly modded Pocket knife to the door.as always if you have any questions, remarks, or criticisms please comment or PM me.
