Flat Sanding Sticks

• These flat sanding sticks are excellent for hand-sounding flat ground blades to a uniform appearance a where developed by Kyle Daily of KHdaily knives. 
• This flat-hand sanding stick is what he came up with after hand-sanding hundreds of blades. Each stick is 8″ long, 3/8″thick, and 1″ wide. This width and thickness provide a lot of material so the stick will not flex easily while pushing very hard.
• Each stick comes with one 55 and a 70 durometer self-adhesive pad.

Kyle does not use a pad below 220 grit so there is no flex in the paper to keep the blade flat. The black 70 durometer pad (about as hard as a tire / typical grinding wheel) through 400 grit.

At 600 grit he switches to the white 55 durometer pad (around an eraser hardness) to give me a little more forgiveness at the higher grits.
