    Love that satin finish. Shows that brilliantly shiny doesn’t have to be the goal.

    Very nice save.
    Your satin finish looks quite uniform.... Nice!

    Nice work. Satin finish is a tough one to do by hand.

    That looks great. I find a nice even satin finish to be quite challenging.

    I agree, a satin blade finish is very nice.

    A number of years ago one of our guys, Joe Chandler, told me that how he made a satin finish was to go up to 2,000 grit then go back down to a 1,000 grit.

    Thanks for that. I’ve been searching the restore threads for how to get a satin finish and you just saved me hours of reading.
