Doing a bit of sanding on the Curley tonight and thought I'd share a little tip.
After sanding both sides of a blade to a desired finish, I like to cover them with scotch tape and cut away the excess with a SE blade. This protects the blade face's from unwanted scratches while sanding the spine,toe, and tang areas.

Remove the tape once all has been sanded, and is ready for buffing or polishing.
Or if your going for a brushed or satin look with polished spine and tang, leave the tape on till all else has been polished.
