Thank you Gentlemen.
It took me over a week but to be honest about four days of real work.

How can I get my blade manually to shine that smooth?

That is a great restore. Everything is well done. Beautiful horn, great wedge, fantastic pin job, superb finish.
MWNC252: Sanding by hand can accomplish a great finish like this if you have the patience and the grip. I have a variety of SP starting at 180, 320,400,600,800,1000,1500,2000. Where you start in the progression depends on how bad the blade is pitted, and how much you want to remove. (If the blade has etching that you want to maintain, you may be required to leave some pitting too). After 2000 you have a darn nice mirror finish, but can take it further with metal polishes. ( I prefer Mother's polish).

I see no need to try harder than that! It seems perfect to me! Really good work!
