I just worked on my first blade as well. I was able to pull out almost all of those little micro scratches by using 1500 and 2000 grit sandpaper from walmart for 6 bucks polish for all metals and a polish cloth for cars for another 10 and no dremel required (tho I do own one ) anyways man I love the blade wish I had got that one. I found after my first blade I love the hours I put into rest... Seriously the hobby I needed. Hope you scale it well, can't wait to see finished product!
