That one little spot...
Does anyone else have that one little spot when making a knife that just about drives them nuts? You know that 1/2" that takes up more of your time than any other 4 inches combined. Mine is right behind the guard on the handle side where the tang meets the guard on a full tang knife. The rest of the handle I can do with a 6 or 8" wheel and get a really nice smooth finish that simply needs some hand sanding to blend perfectly with the rest of the handle, but that last half inch requires a really tiny wheel which changes the look of the finish and usually leaves a very very tiny depression right at the junction. This ends up taking hours of hand sanding to remove. SO I guess the next question is, does anyone have any suggestions as to how to make this work better. And of course what is your "One Spot"
