Abstract: Plastering/cement trowels have sharp edges which can cut a worker when he places the trowel down in a resting position. The present invention provides a plastic sheath to insert the trowel into during the resting mode of use. This sheath also prevents nicks and dents to the trowel while it is transported. An optional sharpening file is attached to the top of the sheath. Various sheath embodiments include a narrowed rear section of a longitudinal slot on the upper member which functions to hold the spine of the trowel in the slot, a rubber membrane stretchable over the blade, a pair of pincer members on the top of the sheath to lock the shank of the trowel into the sheath, a tether on top of the sheath to lock the shank of the trowel into the sheath, and a rear door for the blade slot.

A drain hole on the bottom of the sheath allows water to drain off to reduce rust on the trowel.
