Overall I am happy with the result. Even if I had trashed the blade I still would of gained a better feel for the buffer. There are still two pits on the blade I didn't get out and quite a bit of "dimpling". The W&B stamp can still be seen at an angle, so not a complete loss. I do think it's possible to maintain the edges of the grind better than I did. Going to have to work on control of the buffer wheel and the amount of pressure applied. I know it has been stated before, but a light touch is all that is needed. If you start applying pressure to the buffing wheel it builds up heat MUCH faster and seems to leave deeper scratches as well.
