Will do. I've decided to just remove the handle after I am done sanding. For now it is useful for holding the blade to the sander.
I remembered that I bought it to have fun with and to learn from, not to restore it with as minimal effort as possible.
So it will get a new handle.

And I am considering turning it into a heavy santoku knife. I am sanding away the pitting, and the blade is getting thinner. Making a santoku out of it would be interesting. Definitely more useful than a cleaver. And I am considering redoing the heat treatment, giving it a hamon for style.
