I am experimenting with my first suretouch handle on a filet knife. I am wondering about the finishing process. How fine to sand it and what finish, if any, to use. This is intended to be a regular using knife.

Very nice.

Nice looking work.

I would recommend Parks AAA. I have been told that temperature is not critical for this oil.

Personally, I see a ghost of a Hamon. Maybe after a little more cleanup and another etch it will be more apparent.

Welcome.

Very nice work.
