Well, after a lot of sanding I got the other one cleaned up to 220 grit. Got all the grind lines out -

Also got the the top one done with 320. Not sure if it was my grinding (I did the post HT grinding on the top one) or my sanding but the edge isn't straight. It has a slight curve in the middle.
Once I get them sanded to 600-1000 I will move on to putting the handles.
