    slightly unclear on the cellophane Idea over here, we're talking about the rolled non shrink stuff right? and you wrap it arround a dowl to insert it into the blade and then remove the dowl correct?

    Yup. PolyP, Cellophane, and Ultrafilm are all basically the same thing.

    The minor differences are going to be thickness and static. You have to deal with it no matter what though.

    For me I do quite a few blades so it's worth it to buy a large roll of PolyP vs. getting the cellophane "gift wrap" in a small quantity.

    Which one has less static?

    Obi-Dar, is that something similar to Rhino-Liner in the grooves on that hilt? Ehat ever that is it looks really cool.

    I think that's foam, probably with a sticky back. That's what it looks like to me.

    Yeah but sticking foam in the small grooves of that bladeholder would take more patiance than I would ever see in a person.
