I agree. He posts great content on his process and I don’t think he’s ever had a bad day with how positive his attitude is. Super nice guy to talk with and I was real happy when i was able to buy a knife from him. Had to get a Legacy Knife, sphincter and all!

I appreciate the metaphor but also felt literal pain listening to the sand grinding against the blade just now

I hear you.
I carefully polished a tanto up past 3000 grit and did numerous cycles of etch to bring out the hamon.
Then I chiseled out a wooden saya, got lazy and used the corner of my grinder wheel with 36 grit ceramic belt on it to quickly remove the wood...test fit...SCRATCHHH!
A couple stray particles got me. I sure didn't save any time with that grinder after all.

Some lessons I would prefer to learn without the hands-on experience, but it does make the deepest impression.
No abrasives near saya!

I'll confess a second incident. I was sanding at 4000 grit 3M polishing sheet using an EDM stone as a block.
The 120 grit stone made its way through the polishing sheet...

I was smashing this rock today with the sledge and a big chunk of it popped off with a full force blow and rocketed right at my crotch, hitting my dick. It hurt for ten minutes, but I'm glad I didn't take it in the scrote. Thought to myself that maybe I should be wearing a cup
