Thanks :)

3 step polishing:

1. Sand-papier (grain 600)
2. Sand-papier (grain 1000)
3. Polishing paste

Here is an example video(In video also used sand-papier with grain 2000 before paste, but actualy it is not necessary):

Maybe if I get in my local store sand-papier with grain 2000 :) But the main reason is to protect against rust and I hope this finishing will be enough

Looks like the tip has been rounded off slightly. Not too big of an issue, in all reality tho.

Thanks , Samurai. Yes, true just a little bit :)

Maybe its good to, because will give more durability. Like an icebreaker now. Still sharper enough to go through something hard. (Edited: But not as sharp and elegance as before, I will try to make more straight end next week. Thanks for notice, I will update results)

As I promised, was make an edge a little sharper. I really not sure if you can see the difference after all, but I was make it sharper to the end, but i dont know why its look more rounded thought :). The last photo to the right is the end result.
I like it. I think its optimal now and feels more brutal.

I have a question. Is it realy still possible to make tight and sharp on the end and keep it double edge with this blade form?

The problem is I can realy do it, but I need to remove a quite big metal piece at the begining. As you can see I need to go almost till that main strip in the middle of the blade. Is it will not lead that blade end will be not as strong as before? I just afraid to damage totaly the whole blade geometry.

Finaly I decided to go for help to more experienced master Messer Holdorf , which helped me realy much. Less words, more photo.

Here is all evolution from original Spartan to polished and with false edge sharpened. As you can see result 2 and 3 the end are rounded.


Thank you very much Samuraistuart without your notice this knife probably never become so good as it is now.

On the last number 4 photo the end are sharp at last. Finaly yea. This maked me so happy.
