So I finally have a blade nearing completion thats OK. No awards will be won, but I'm not ashamed to say its mine and thats a big step forward
Still have to make a guard/bolster and a handle, of course, but the blade is largely done and I'm pretty satisfied. I should have drilled for the pin a little farther down the tang, but it'll still look OK I think
Still have a question about finishing this. Ive seen a few people talk about how they get a satin finish and I think I'm close but I'm not 100% satisfied. This is sanded to 800 and then I took it back with scotchbright.
I think its close. I might have to go back to the 800 and do a better job with the final strokes. I think maybe there were some not-so-parallel sanding marks...
What are your processes for a satin finish?
