wow those are amazing, its nice to see that you can create such a beautiful blades using bench grinder and you don't need heavy duty belt grinders.
Rafal

Phenomenal work! How were you able to put such a fine polish on your blades with only a bench grinder? I could see it possible if it was a flat grind or complete wedge. Buffing wheel w/ various grits of compound perhaps?

It's simple - by hand sanding.

that is some amazing work!

I love the razor shape and size but the scales could be tapered on the edges to make them feel and look thinner and the spacer could work better if it was a bit more like wedge.

I draw file and block sand my knives my hand, but don't see how you'd do it on a hollow grind and keep everything even unless you're using a shaped piece of wood that conforms to the initial grind. Before I block sanded my knives would turn out blotchy. What sort of setup are you using?
