Hello,
If you wanted to start to restore a blade with pitting is there a rule of thumb what grit of sand paper / steel wool to start out with?
I understand you would want the lightest to get the job done but what would be a starting point? 220 grit? also what would you finish with? would you use a wet/dry up to 3000 or beyond?? Would you use a OOOO Steel wool??
Would you finish with some type of polishing of the blade but with a device that wouldn't create much heat???
I am just starting out and I have a few blades that are starters that I picked up fairly cheap and figured they would be a good sacrificial lamb....
Any and ALL advise is welcome!! The more the better... I will sponge it up!
Thank you all in advance.

Kind Regards,
David
