Ugh! Hand sanding. Looks great but what a colossal pain!
I usually take my knives down to 600 and I get good results with one exception. I get tiny "J" hooks where I initially press the sandpaper onto the blade for the final finish.
The rest looks great with nice smooth parallel lines down the blade except for where I start the sandpaper. Those "J's" are driving nuts and I can't figure out how to eliminate them.
I do hollow grinds and they're at the plunge line because that's where I start the sandpaper for the final finish.
I've tried starting at the point and going towards the plunge but I still get them at the point.
Frustrating.
Anyone have some tips or tricks they'd like to share?
