This is the beginning of the finishing process. The blade is protected by wrapping in paper towel and taped. A small 6" metal ruler is wrapped with sandpaper and the knife is sanded using uncented lamp oil(in the little plastic bottle) as a wetting agent. When the sand paper stops cutting, the used strip of paper is ripped from the ruler...there is a straight edge there already to make that easy. The ruler makes a nice ridgid but flexible sanding tool.
