Go to an office supply store (Office Depot, etc.) and look for report covers. Typically, they have a clear front and back cover between which you would insert a printed report and then slip the spine on. Throw the cover away and slip the spine onto your saw.
Unfortunately, the spine is only about 11-1/2" long, so for full size hand saws, you'll need two, For a saw such as you've illustrated, you can trim the spine down to length with a utility knife.
Dave is right that´s maybee one of the best surce
and I think you can find somthing simular in a home depot
to be use with posters/playbill´s for the panelsaws
I gess thay most have them at the offices supply store too
or you can cut a waterhose in the right length and slice it
or as they did in the old days
take a thin peice of wood ½ x 1 inch and the right length cut a track
where the saw can sit
make two notches one at each end ½inch in and use a rubberband/line to secure the saw
I have used clear, flexable plactic tubing sold at most of the big box stores in the plumming department and slit it and slip it on. ...and it come in different dia.
Thanks for all the good ideas but I guess I should have mentioned that I need protectors for bow knifes that I make so I need a wholesale source. I can get them from Outwater (thanks again to shopguryl) for 26 cents a foot. Considerably cheaper than the other options.
I use "end cap " plastic stips that were designed for formica instalation. Wall paneling used the same stips with thicker grooves. Comes in 8 ft length.
The clear plastic tubing is a great idea for circular saw blades. as well.
