13" Bowie? I'm beat after hand sanding one side to 120 grit.
Only 10 more hours to go...hopefully only 10.

It doesn't really take you ten hours to sand one side of that, does it?

It's like dog years, one hour feels like 7!
I started using PSA sandpaper on a 3" wide piece of angle iron clamped in a vice recently and run the knife instead of a sanding block. Seems to work good so far. I start at 400 off the grinder.

I hope not. Usually once I get it to an honest 120, the rest go more quickly. At this stage I'm still blending a mostly flat bevel with a convex edge. My fingers and arms were tired last night so I might have been pessimistic.
Perhaps I'll roughly time myself to finish the hand sanding...
