135 "ALCHEMY" by Jensen Knives
135: Now I’m going to clean up the concave areas with an oscillating spindle sander. This is traditionally a wood working tool, but works great for knife making, keeping all parts at a nice perfect 90-degree angle. I recommend finding one with a laminate top, as opposed to metal. The laminate tops will cause fewer scratches on your material as your moving around, and into the sanding drum. You can also get several different grits of sanding sleeves. Start with the most aggressive grit sleeve to quickly erase the band saw blade marks. Again this is a woodworking machine, so it does not have a lot of natural aggression, compensate for this by using the most aggressive grit sleeves you can on metal. As you are getting closer to the finished profile, change through to the smoother grit sanding sleeves. This is probably my favorite tool.
