Sometimes when we are sanding smaller objects, we need, well, a smaller piece or just a strip of sandpaper. We could always cut one of our expensive 9" x 11" sheets and hopefully not cut too much off.Or you can reach for the correct grit inside the box dispenser and tear off just the right amount for your project. Each grit roll is 1" wide and is flexible enough to be used on most any shape. These abrasive strips work exceptionally well on rounded objects such as turned pens, bottle stoppers or any other smaller type of turning.They also work on most any type of material and can be cut to any length needed.Stepping your abrasives from low grit to high grit is an essential process for finishing your pens, pencils, bottle stoppers or any wood project in the proper manner.Each roll is made from hard to find J-weight cloth backed sandpaper. Available in 150x, 240x, 320x, 400x, & 600x. The center opening of each roll is approximately 1-1/2".

More or less, the bevel is the angled part of the edge, seen here. Search "beveling jig" for some tips on how to build a jig to get really clean bevels.
Do you have files? It's pretty much impossible to get a really good looking knife without a nice big flat bastard file, like this. That one is double-cut, which means that it will hog off a lot of metal very quickly. You can also buy a single cut file, like this one. I CANNOT stress enough how useful hand files are in shaping a knife. Once you have the knife to the desired shape using the file, then you should start at about 150 grit, to 240 grit, 320, then 400 and 600. A good set of sandpaper is here. You can certainly go higher and even polish it, but I like to leave it at 600 or 800. Sanding does take a while, but should not take 40 hours as someone else in this thread suggested.
Of course, if you have a belt sander, do most of your shaping there using 40 or 80 grit belts on that. Still, I like to refine the shape with a file before moving up in grits. Let me know if you have any questions.
