Thanks Broken-Tengu! I'm sure there's some more elegant way to do it with a small wheel on a grinder or some creative milling, but the files seemed to work for me.

Took the blade to 400 grit. There were some pin holes at 120, probably from heat treating, but I think you'd be very hard pressed to find them amoung the 400grit lines. I need to talk to the customer about what he wants engraved on it. Then it's onto temporarily attaching the scales for handle shaping, off for cold bluing, and then back together for final fit up.
Neil ,
How did you do the sanding job to clean up the flats and grinds on this blade ? That is gorgeous !

Tengu, it's just TLC with sandpaper wrapped around a a bar of steel as a sanding stick. I imagine you could get the transition between the flats and the grinds if you cleaned up the flats on a surface grinder.
