Hi Guys,

I picked up a Boker with some pitting on the bevel. I have been reading and reading these forums so I went to my hone to see if I could get past the pitting to bright, shiny steel before I went to much further in the rest of the restoring. Unfortunately I didn't pay attention to the posts that say to tape the spine. Now I have some glaring hone wear. It was a really low grit stone so when the light hits the blade the hone wear just about glows.

My question is how can I hide/lessen it? Can I sand it out with a higher grit sand paper or do I have to use a higher grit stone?
