Wow!!

that looks like quite the edge

My skills are improving! I tried to keep the "shoulder" to a minimum, and let it be nearly a zero-edge saber-to-convex grind.

Did you sand it?

tomthebaker · Sep 7, 2011

I stripped it on my 1x42 belt sander with a scotchbright belt, then used various sandpaper grits to sharpen and polish.

What was the final grit used to polish?

Just 1000, then leather and polishing compound.
