Thread: Did I just destroy this blade?

Hi,
Was working on this blade and I think I killed it.. KILLED it!

First sanded down the blade, about 5 hours.
Then I polished up the blade, to check my sanding, looked nice.

After this I tried to make a rounded edge (spine is rounded too). That worked out nice too.
All looking pretty well, I tried to make a rough edge with a 200-ish grit stone.
This is where something was off, as you can see in the picture. The blade was so thick, it took me ages to put an edge on it, when the edge was on the blade, the spine was worn down!
Not only the spine looks a bit lame now, but the edge is totally uneven.
