I have seen a few threads on people making stands or scale-like covers to protect their edge on their kamisori.
I was wondering if there are any manufactuers or anyone making scale-like covers to protect the edge, since I don't want to buy an entirely new box to protect it as I have seen.
Is it possible to find scales or protectors to protect the edge of a Kamisori during strorage?
They do make a vinyl zippered cover for the strops. it doesn't quite fit the 90K but gives good protection still. As I recall AFrames sells it.

Without going into great detail, to protect the edge in transit, fold and make a small slip cover using old playing card stock, King of Hearts, Joker etc. Or Manila folder stock paper cut to size and folded properly. I have honed and shipped many and it’s cheap and works well enough. Similar to attached example.

Good example. That's not a bad idea. One issue, IMO, would be the difference in design when applying that method to a kamisori. The SE utility blades, with the bracket opposite the edge provides a lip to stop the cardstock from making contact with the edge. My idea for a "quick & dirty" solution would be to put an appropriately sized rubber band on the blade body, from tip to shoulder. Am I making sense? I'm sleep deprived as well...Quote:

Strategically placed staples can do wonders for custom sized sutures, er kamisoris. Get creative. Origami for your Kami. ;)

The one that Feather makes for their Kamisori conveniently fit mine. I know all blades vary but I got lucky.
The devil made me do it.
I make cardboard or plastic, (Milk Jug) Saya with tape or CA glue, for knives being shipped all the time, just take a few minutes.
Or buy a plastic or cardboard Knife a guard from CKTG, plastic or cardboard and cut to size. They have different sizes here.

Joe Edson (edsonrazors.com) has made a couple for me for my kamisori razors. If he has he time, he might make one for you.
