diamond coated abrasive sanding pads

[Barry H]

I am curious if any of you kind bladesmiths know of a manufacturer of diamond coated abrasive pads. I own a Dozier fixed blade and am attmpting to sand out the grind with silicon carbide paper (240 grit) and it is going really sloooooow. Any other tricks I should consider? Thanks!

MSC has everything you could possibly need for this project. If you are trying to take out the grind scratches that Bob left on that knife, you are going to have to start with paper as coarse as he finished with. Otherwise, you are going to be there a long time. I think he stops at 120 grit belts. If you drop back to 120 grit paper, you should make a difference.
