I always fold the sand paper, with the coarse side out, and then cut from the inside (the backing side), along the fold. That seems to be less harsh on the edge. You don't need a sharp knife to do this.

Re: Let’s see that 15V
I hear you @Jeb... That FB at the bottom is a $1 Chinesium "kitchen knife" I've used in the garage for ages. I have no emotional attachment to it, so it's the perfect tool for the job!

I shot up all the phone books I ever had. It's amazing how hard it is to shoot through a phone book with a .45 auto.Brock O Lee wrote: ↑Thu Jun 12, 2025 7:17 amThanks!Midnightrider wrote: ↑Wed Jun 11, 2025 6:35 am^ OLight and Spyderco.. plus phone book pages for sharpness testing...

Re: Let’s see that 15V!
I did not like the AWT skinny scales. Micarta is much better.

Micarta does make a really nice scale, just as long as you don't mind it getting darker colored as you use the knife.

Fold the sandpaper course side in, first. Then, fold again, course side out. Just rip it in half. No blade needed.Brock O Lee wrote: ↑Sat May 31, 2025 5:08 amI hear you @Jeb...
