Thread: Cleaning "teeth" or serated part of tang

How to you guys clean the serated part that is common on the top and bottom of the tang? I normally polish my blades with a buffing wheel on a grinder, starting with black compound, then white compound and finally polishing to a high shine with blue compound. I am usually real happy with the outcome of the blades afterward. But the buffing wheels never seem to do a very good job on the jagged area on the top and bottom edges of the tang.

I have a wire wheel that I have been hesitant to use on any of the blades that I have rebuilt. But maybe that would be the best way to get that jagged area of the tang, I'm not sure.

How do you guys do it?
