hey buddy u have a very beautiful technique and don't listen to what other people say about it and if u don't mind me asking what era does it originate from

[cokerewardsbarrycent]

@jonneyj i reccomend using sandpaper first, grit around 400. (starting grit) then using polishing papers (i got mine on ebay) it works RELLY well. ( i don't have a sword, but polished a knife) the grits go up to 8000 on the papers or 1 micron. you can also get .3 micron grit on ebay but only in lapping film PSA. (or 12000 grit)

hope this helps.

At first, are you taking the roundness off the top of the blade and making it flat?
