Sorry about the private lessons; I'll shoot you something cool in the mail for all of this.

I am removing all material that Lerch may find offensive or construe as a personal attack... bye bye, now...
Bill, will those scratches ever smooth out enough to have a mirror finish?
Don't the scratches give it a "satin finish" look?

Here is the blade after the some work with the grey fiber wheel. scratch pattern seems a bit finer (damn shadow).
Joe - I believe there is always a way to get to a mirror finish if you remove the scratches in small increments. I have never done it before other than with knife bevels that were already close.
As RT said, this is a rough satin finish. I am hoping to get a better one.

I think it's still a little rough to call satin, but it's looking real good.
I like the mirror finishes, but there is something about that last pic that gives it a "rugged" look.
RT
It is definitely rougher looking than a scotchbrite finish. I like it this way, but I think I will keep going and see what happens.Quote:
