Yup. if I’m sharpening a knife for someone who I think is anal about their knives, I’ll tape up all exposed areas to protect against accidental scratches. To prevent marks from the vise clamps, I use the aluminum foil duct tape. It sticks like a million bucks and cleans up very easily. The vise jaws bite into it really well too. Some guys also tape up the handles too. Not a bad idea.
