@Mike08 alternatively you can buy "sanding sticks" which are tools to hold pieces of sandpaper.

Nice tool for work ;)
Advice to you, before sharpening the case, you need to hide the engravings, otherwise they can be easily lost...

Fidget occupation of the day! Made with an 40 years old leather belt belonging to the beloved one with Brown waxed linen thread. All done by hand, no machine.
