I am new to knife making and it's just a hobby for me. I plan on making a 7" Santoku for someone as a present but I want to mirror polish a peened blade, similar to my Shun's and Enso's. Now, I can mirror polish a normal blade without a problem but what I can't figure out if there is a way, without spending a millennia of hours by hand sanding in the small peened parts. I'm using 02 steel and will quench in oil after the heat treat. Am I just being too overzealous trying to mirror polish it and just leave it with the dark blade?
