Yea it had some pitting. I managed to get most of it out yesterday. I went slow on it and it took a good 4-5 hours sanding by hand. I am ordering stones today. My arm started hurting and I had to stop but the pitting is almost all gone. I am going to the auto shop also to get more sand paper as I used the little I had on hand.

With all the sanding and polishing, it did manage to cut hair with ease and that surprised me. I am really good at sanding though as I have repainted my cars myself and had to do a lot of hand sanding. I think it came in handy for this project.

Now for the bevel, do you think it needs a bread-knife done and a reset? It has a small smile to it as well.
