My Genco Improved Eagle showed up on Friday, and since it was raining today I decided to spend 6.5 hours hand sanding/polishing it (first polish and rescale). Progressing from 220 up to 2500 going dry and wet.

But it still has a little pitting. I'm curious, anybody have an opinion. If the pitting is closer to the spine and on the spine/tang would it be worth it to go through and try to buff it out? How likely is it that I'll remove too much pitting in these areas? Should I just leave it as is and call it a day, just to avoid risking it?

Thanks
