After sharpening how do you protect edges for customers?

[skytraxx]

Do any of you guys have a fast easy way to give fixed blades back to people after sharpening?
I just use newspaper and tape but it looks crude and wrapping is not my thing.
Thanks for the ideas in advance.

Melted wax or painters tape work well.

I like the painters tape idea.
Can you explain the melted wax.

I think thin folded cardboard and tape should work well

 

[skytraxx]

Tried cardboard and had the tape fail before.
Or it leaves a residue on the handle.

You might try some "plastic document slide binders". They can be cut down for short knives and will actually follow a bit of a curve. Attach with a wrap of tape at either end. My bandsaw blades come with this kind of protector (of course in super sizes). That's what inspired me to use the slide binders on handsaws and knives.

NICE!
Best one so far.

Thanks for the replies.
I'm a lurker on this sight but have learned volumes of knowledge.
My wife is also a knife nut now!

I just use painter's tape. Works like a charm.

I've had a couple fix blades shipped to me with a cardboard sheath that was stapled together and cut to the shape of the blade.

I use CKTG blade guard and tip protectors.
