        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.'</font>

      <font face="sans-serif" size="2">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.</font>

      <font face="sans-serif" size="2">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.</font>
