Ok after reading Mattdotzeb's thread on using the Up B as an effect damage technique with DK it got me wondering why nobody uses it as an edge guard. I've found it to work great againt Ganon, Falcon, Link, Samus, Mario, Luigi, G&W, and others.
What you do is as ur holding the ledge to let go of the ledge with either down or back, (usually down when they're below you or back when the are mid range with you) Up B and then grab the ledge with a ledge cancel. I beleve he gets the first invisible frame in the air as he does on the ground. I've found it to work most effectively on Falcon, Ganon, and Link, but can work just as good on other characters but the timing is alittle harder.
I'll post a vid of me using it when I get the chance to upload them. If someone posted something like this before then i'm sorry, it's just that I ever see DK's use this as an effective edge guard technique.
Also if no one has came up with a name for it, I copyright it as "Shoguard"
