Next is down to hand work I will use 400 grit paper and wrap it around blade.
You can just grip the tang and with the other hand slide the paper up and down or put in vice and use both hands
This is the surface finish, You can do this as long as you want and you can go up the grades 600 plus but that is up to you I stop at 400.
After about 1/2 hour this is what the blade will look like again it is down to personal choice how smooth and polished you want it 8)
The next stage I will use a polishing compound, but if you dont want to pay for the gear, then just use 600-800 grit paper until you have the desired finish. This is what I use to do and go as far as flower paper however it took days if not a week to do :lol: :lol: But at least the finish was nice 8)
