Abstract: A reusable package is provided for displaying and storing a display item, such as a cutting blade. The package includes front and rear body portions hingedly interconnected with each other. Closure portions are formed in the front and rear body portions and are mutually engageable in a gripping and releasable relationship through a central aperture on the display item when the body portions are in their closed position. At least one of the body portions includes an anti-rotation lug that is engageable with a surface discontinuity on the display item, such as a space between adjacent teeth on a cutting blade, thus preventing the display item from rotating when the package is closed. Preferably the other body portion includes a second anti-rotation lug located at a different location relative to the closure portions so that the package can be used to display and store at least two different, but similar display items.

Front and rear body portions are hingedly interconnected and are foldable between closed and open positions. The body portions include dished "clam-shell" portions that are releasably and grippingly nestable with each other when the package is in its closed position. The front dished portion also includes a blister cavity display portion adapted to house a variety of different display items, and a recessed portion if the blister cavity releasably grips a shank or rod-like portion of the display item. Display insert cards, anti-theft security devices, or small accessories may be also housed between the front and rear dished portions. The front and rear body portions can be repeatedly closed and opened after a frangible initial attachment has been broken.
