Scandi finishing

[KFU]

I just did my first couple of Scandi grinds with the use of a jig. They turned out pretty good but was wondering if you guys finished up yours with a stone? Mine look to have a couple of spots that aren't totally flat and figured a stone would flaten them out nicely.

I grind my final edge on a slow running 240 grit, check it on a good stone for flatness, then go back to the grinder for the final grit, then hit the wire edge on a buffer. A lot of my customers send their knives back to me for sharpening, some prefer to do it themselves so I make sure they ride flat on a stone. This is one of the main benefits of a scandi, the bevel is so wide that most anyone can sharpen it. Any spots that are not flat will show up the first time the customer tries to sharpen it.
Grind slow (rpm) and hold steady pressure throughout the grind.

I think if the stone shows anything but nice and flat, go back to the grinder. If you use steady pressure and even passes from plunge to tip it isn't hard to get the whole bevel in one plane. This is critical.
