- This is a big one & something I get asked about constantly. How do I hand sand my knives? I believe knowing how to put down a good hand sanded finish is the base of any good blade finish that you wish to achieve.
As I've stated in the video, coming off your machines is one of the most important parts to getting a good clean hand sand and will greatly cut back your time. Find some methods that suit you and work on perfecting those. Hopefully this video helps. Thanks for checking it out!

Wow. So appreciate you sharing your knowledge and work like this. I am struggling to shape my very first knife. This helped. I am still struggling because I am rather dense and clumsy with the tools.
glad you're finding them helpful! Just keep at it, I promise it gets easier!
Amazing video, and easy to follow. Great explanation as to WHY you are doing things and offering suggestions on how to do it differently. Thank you very much for this video
My pleasure!
There are some great tips and tricks! Thx!
This was very good video! Thank you sir. Im new knife maker, whos been doing and trying to learn this stuff around 9-10months now. Mostly do kitchen knifes. Worked as a chef around 11years, and during pandemic got burnout to that job, but found knife making as a new hobby, and somehow kitchen knifes was the thing i wanted to start doing.
Thx again! Always happy to learn the secrets! 😅
Sorry to hear about your job but Glad the videos have been helpful for you!
Just checked out your gallery on your site. You're a fantastic craftsman. Really beautiful designs and excellent execution man.
thank you!
Solid tips Sir!
Great information. Many thanks.
I make instruments and got into knife making and I appreciated your attention to sanding detail. I find it’s very similar to sanding hardwood end grain…it starts with good machining, takes good sanding setup and tons of patience.
Thanks! Yep it’s not something you can learn over night, takes lots of practice
Thank you for watching you video share. Nice job. I order some different tools for a drill machine. Waist of time and money. Your way is the best. I will try it, I hate the scratches on my hand knife. Your start with grid 400, 600. Wast that it. I didn’t see the grid where you ending. Thx dude👊
I always think I know enough and then I watch a video and learn something new. I love the idea of changing direction on hand sanding so you know you got the entire blade to that grit. No lube though. That's interesting.
Trust me I’m always learning too! Yea I’d like to use it to keep the dust down but it just gets really messy and makes it a bit hard to see sometimes. I may just opt to use the smallest amount possible I can get away with just for respiratory reasons
Great videos.
Was wondering if a light folding table like that would be able to cope with hand sanding, and that rocking motion answered my question. That would drive me nuts.
It definitely moves a bit but to be honest I’ve been using it for so long I don’t even notice anymore. Though sometimes I’ll throw a 60lb anvil on the other end and it solves that issue
@@saccoknives That sounds like a great solution. Also gives me a good weight estimate for a table that won't shake too much. Thanks for the response!
Great video brotha ! Thanks for doing that. Starting my first knife next week. Where did you get the tools you are using to wrap the sand paper around ?
Thanks! Hopefully these help you a bit. Those sanding sticks I made myself
Very nice mate! I’ve started taking mine to 1200 on the disc with very thin leather backing. Uses a fair bit of sandpaper but god damn it’s fast! Love your work!
Disc grinder is a game changer! Thanks!
Question since I love hand sanding as much as the next guy. Has anyone thought to take the cheap Chinese 1x6 diamond 400 or 600 grit stones and hand sand with those to speed up the process? Then hand sand to satin with the rhinowhet to 800 grit or so?
there exists such a thing. I know of Falcon Sanding Stones that makes some and I've seen them sold on Maritime Knife Supplies website, I'm sure theres more companies out there making some too!
Looks really coarse for a 600 grit. Is that ceramic sandpaper?
Aluminum oxide
@@saccoknives I thought so. 600 grit SiC would leave a much better and more consistent surface finish.
@@gorodph that’s crazy
No lubrication? Madlad
Raw dog that steel
but as I see, the blade remains rather thick at all - more like an axe than a blade... or did I see something wrong?
Satyna na szlifie pełnym płaskim to nic trudnego 🤣
