I had a desk of similar vintage. First thing to check is what is veneer and what isn’t. That will indicate where you need to be cautious with the sanding. It’s surprisingly easy to sand through the veneer, don’t ask how I know. The drawer faces look to be solid oak. For those, I’d consider a rub down with a fine brass wire brush to get the old varnish out of the grain prior to sanding. It looks like a lovely project to work on.

Nice work!

It will sharpen fine. Eyeballing the edge, I’d recommend sharpening at a smaller angle. It looks like you have something close to 20 degrees on there and for a Santoku you would be better off between 12 and 15 degrees.

Oooh, matron!

Is this the one with ceramic beads in it? I have used it before to fill deep holes and it didn’t sag at all. Maybe they have changed the formula for the worst.

When did this come in?
That is a steal!
It’s difficult to tell from the photo what is veneer and what isn’t. But no, you don’t want to remove it.
