[Shop-talk] How NOT to buff a REALLY sharp knife

OK, I'm looking for suggestions on how to SAFELY buff metal objects (like
knives.)
I started making knives. So I bought a really nice 3/4HP Baldor buffer.
I've used buffers like this before, normally BEFORE the knife has been
sharpened. However, I was redoing the handle on a knife I already
sharpened. Let's just say, 'things got away from me.'
11 stitches later, I'm looking for suggestions. I need a way to hold the
blade edge of a knife when working on it. In the past, I've taped the
edge, but this was so sharp, it wouldn't have helped.
I've searched online, but I can't find anything to help. I was thinking
of a wooden 'sheath' like clamp to put the blade in.
Any Ideas?
BTW, if you want to see photos (or you want help losing our appetite, here
are a few photos of the damage.) Note, I didn't drop the knife!
