Hand Sharpening a Spoon Carving Hook Knife with Wet Dry Sandpaper

In this video, I take you though the process that I use to sharpen a spoon carving hook knife by hand. The process is simple, I use adhesive backed wet dry sandpaper to sharpen the inside of the hook, and strop the knife in between grits. The hook knife I am sharpening was purchased second hand, it appears to be one of the older models of the famed Hans Karlsson spoon hooks.
