Clamping tips from Steve Bloom, Iron Flower Forge

It is a problem holding onto the blade when polishing once it
starts to get sharp. I am now using kevlar gloves from industrial supply and
they work great. You can get them wet with no problem and the blade will not cut
through them. Make sure that you don't set them down where they can pick up dirt
and grit, hang them to dry and then store them in a seal container to keep them
clean.
