Here's a li'l tip, take a paper towel tube, flatten it and staple one end tightly. Use it as a sheath and slide your microplane into it protect it from damage as well as your fingers when storing in the drawer. I also do this for my knives and carving forks to protect their blades and points.
Save a few tubes so you can replace them when you need to. This is also great for transporting sharps to potlucks, etc. Write your name on the sheath to be sure you take home all of the cutlery you brought to the function.
