Polishing a blade or an edge to a mirror polish has, obviously, been a relatively common practice throughout the recent history of knives and swords. I can see why, 'cause I personally LOVE a good mirror-polished blade.
So out of curiosity, in your experience, which steels have been the easiest to polish to a mirror finish, and which have been the hardest?
(forgive me if this isn't the right section for this thread; move it as necessary.)
