hey guys, had a blade that had the weirdest kind of frost looking patina on it. I found that a lot of elbow grease with the MAAS would take it out, no need to go to paper.

BUT

after getting a lot of the blade, on show side, done, I noticed that there are some little scratches. but they are only in a row down about 2" and then some longer ones here and there. If it was scratching i'd figure it to happen everywhere I worked.

Just wondering if it COULD be that before I go to the other side and create more work for myself. I'm hoping to find some CO paste and setup my buffer maybe monday. I made the mistake of taking the 2000grit paper to the tang and of course that is now less shiny than the blade.

thanks guys.
