the edge as needed  by frequent polishing on the buffing wheel  which keeps 
the mirror polished edge razor. 
   For the side notches I use a 3" red devil, I think, putty knife. It has a 
wooden handle that sandwiches the blade and allows for it to be whacked with 
a hammer without splitting up the wooden handle.  My initial side cuts are 
made with an exacto hobby saw which aren't that truly straight but are 
cleaned up later with the putty knife. 
    Stray thought. WHy does the word knife have a K on the front of it any 
way.
