EDC XIII Which knife or knives are you carrying today?

Nice job man! Did you use a stone to put the satin finish on the blade?
Thank you! First time sanding a knife blade.

I started off with 220 grit on acrylic sticks to sand through the CNC grind lines in the blade found an odd low spot and a few wiggles. Then worked my way up to 600 to work back to 400 but noticed a few random deeper scratches so I worked it back to 320 and just left it. Acrylic backed with a piece of cork and just dragged it in one direction. Moving to a new section of paper with each final drag to ensure a clean finish.

I feel that the 320 is a better finish as the 400 was getting to be too reflective. Then sharpened it to 600 and finished with a 1 micron strop.

I’ll still shed a tear the first scratch I put in it.
