Thread: Reshaping Heel of Blade Question

I searched and read the thread about making the Pakistani sharp. Is that the one that you were talking about? It sounded like he had crushed up couticle (sp?) in grease for polishing. Im not sure if that is what it is but that is what it sounds like to me.

No I guess its not.
This one rather.

Well, crap on a cracker! I accidentally left my keys in my wifes car after the trip to the beach yesterday, so im stuck at the house and cant get to autozone to get the 1k and 2k grit sandpapers. Will the 2k bring it to a near mirror shine or will it still have a satin look to the blade?

Depends how small the previous steps were and if you have removed all the scratches from lower grits. 2000 is actually quite near to polishing.

I got the other scratches out. It turns out that the 3m paper that i am using looses its cutting power pretty quick so it just took a little bit more paper then i thought it would.

Here are some pics of the blade with the final sanding done (2000 grit). All that is left is to get the dremel and some polishing compound and the blade will be done ready to find its home in a new set of scale. And i guess i should throw som pics of the newly reshaped heel since that is what this thread is about.

It does not ease my jealousy very much!

Looks very good!

I use only the finest materials in my scales and pins as you can see . Just checking the scale for fit on the blade and seeing what designs work. I would like to do the scale in this design.
