no Flux san mai Japanese inspired kitchen knife, from start to finish. 

Excellent video Sir, I appreciate the helpful tips and the insight on the tools that you use. Keep up the great work!

Good info! I used to use a piece of wood for a hand sanding rest. I recently welded together two 1 1/4” , 12” lengths of angle iron and cut it so it is pointed on one end. I glued a thin piece of rubber mat on top.

Glad to help
