Grind Lines???

[L6steel]

I have always liked the looks of a knife that still has the grind lines in the hollow of the blade, if they're all uniform and inline. I have tried to buff the flats of blades, and not get into the hollow grind, but have had no success. Does anyone know a technique for accomplishing this?? Do any of you leave the lines in the hollow? Thanks and take care! Michael

I like to take my hollow grind down to a 400 grit and then use a fine scotch brite belt.
this puts in very fine lines and makes a good contras.

L6STEEL,

Buff the blade to a mirror finish then do a finish grind with a 400 grit belt. This should be what you are looking for.
