I think you need to read the stickies at the top of the shoptalk page. Start with the basics, and take your time as you make each knife. You really need to work on your fit and finish.

Stick around on this site and learn from some of the best in the knife industry. Ask specific questions when they come up. Submit designs for feedback and criticism before you start a knife...
 
Welcome to Bladeforums.

From the info in your profile ( you did not fill out your age), I assume you are a youth who is excited about making knives. Calling yourself a professional knifemaker, and then asking how to finish knives is like calling yourself a mechanic, and asking how to change sparkplugs.

I removed the website link, as it violates the user agreement rules about registered users promoting sales websites.

Stick around, read the stickies, and show us some of your work.
 
Go over to YouTube and subscribe to Nick Wheeler (He's on here too). He did a great video on hand sanding with some homemade blocks.
Give that a go, and with some practice you can get really good finishes w/o using power equipment, but lots of elbow grease.
Good luck.
 
Stacy I Am 14 but am also selling knives, I am always looking for better ways, but of course I know how to finish, but if someone has figured something out that I have not, I would love to learn it
