ed with glue and emery. The rough
edges are rounded and smoothed, and
then the knives are carefully examin-
ed to see if the cutler has done his
work properly.
If the spring works easily and the
blades close without striking the
knives are sent to the blade polisher
On a wooden wheel covered with
fine leather the ordinary blades are
given a polish called "glaze finish"
Finer grades of knives are given a
~crocus finish"-a mirror-like surface
on a leather wheel which revolves
very slowly. in order that the blades
shall not become heated and lose their
temper
The knives are now taken to another
room. where, on an oilstone, the keen

amendments which the President an
