Hi all,
I apologize if this has been asked and answered; posting after a very quick look on the sub-forum.
I've recently bought a Honyaki (Shiraki), and it came with a nice mirror finish. The problem is, it has some shallow(-ish) scratches that go from the heel to midway across the blade.
I've read on the forums that you can thin, then refinish the blade, using stones, sandpaper, and buffing compound.
I'm wondering if you can use some sort of stone combo (maybe a special nagura?) to achieve that level of mirror finish? Alternatively, would there be a way to use stones to directly buff/refinish out the scratches?
Thanks,
JJ
