How do you polish blades???

Featured Replies

How do you guys polish your blades?? I have been leaving all my blades blackened and just grinding the edge, because I don't know how to polish them and I don't think I have the right tools. When I tried doing it with my table top grinder it left grind marks all over it.

After forging,anneal and then drawfile and sandpaper will work.I use a beltgrinder and then hand sand.

after all heat treating is done i grind all my leftover scale and junk off and grind my edge in then i take a dual action sander (dual action sanders make figure 8 type movements so you done have sand marks goin any certain way) and start with about 80 grit to get rid of any marks then work my way up to atleast 600 to 1000 grit when possible i take mine to 3000 grit and then buff out any small marks left and you should have a very nice mirror finish
