Abstract: A carrying and shipping case for cutting blades which comprises a case including at least first and second spaced apart opposing side panels where the first and second spaced apart opposing side panels define an intervening interior blade securing area when the case is in a closed condition. A blade support surface is disposed within the case interior above the interior surface of the first side panel. And, at least one clamp is disposed within the case interior for securing the blade in contact with the blade support surface. The clamp is typically temporarily secured to the first case side panel and includes a first contact surface to engage a top horizontal surface of a cutting blade disposed on the blade support surface and a second contact surface to engage a vertical surface of the cutting blade. A blade contact surface is disposed above the blade support surface.
