Found a neat way to sand those pesky grooves in the handles. At work we have Mitchell's Emery Cord for sanding grooves and slots in machine parts. It is basically an abrasive coated string that comes in different sizes. While it clogs up fairly quickly when sanding wood, it works better than anything I've found so far. We buy it locally from an industrial supply house, but I've found it online at
McMaster-Carr


Just search for sanding cord. It runs $10-12 per 50 foot roll. I would get the aluminum oxide.

Keep on woodchucking. :)

Thanks for the tip, Fergus...
THat stuff would work wonders for detailing grooves in blade backs too, like filework...jimping.

THanks!

Thanks ghorka,
I worried when I put that as my signature line that it might be wrong. I got it from the book "The Gurkhas" by Byron Farwell. Thanks for setting me straight.:)

Prior to "Kaphar hunno bhanda marnu ramro " it was "Gorakh Nathko Jay"...if you can figure that one out, you can help write the book.
 
It's a salute to some old God who lives in a temple up in Gorkha. A more modern version is "Jaya Nepal!"
