Hey guys, Thanks for the advice I wasn't aware of the differences in grit size, I'm using european FEPA-P I think, I found a good chart online as you've suggested, showing the differences i grit size. I think 1200 grit is the closest to matching 600 ANSI, it jumps to 1600 after 1200 in the pack...

Hello again, Thanks for the tips, I've gotten most of the hammer marks out now, otherwise I'd probably give it a go on one of my stones, the coarsest I have is 300 unfortunately is wasn't a overly cheap stone though. I think I'm going to use a courser sandpaper dry to try and smooth out these...

Hey guys, thanks for getting back to me. I'm currently using 240 wet/dry, to be honest I was afraid to go any courser in case I went through the Damascus cladding. The Shun Fuji i'm doing it on had a hammered finish to it, so there were ripples going down the knife, more so on the top portion...

Also is the sandpaper better wet or dry for this? I've been sanding dry so far. I've managed to give myself a large blister on the end of my finger doing this and I've still not touched one side of the blade, so any advice that could make things a bit easier would be greatly appreciated.

A quick question regarding sanding down the cladding, so far I've been sanding one side of the blade for about 8+ hours by hand and I've still not entirely finished one side, some of the deep etch still remains, I'm determined but can't help but feel a bit over faced. I wanted to ask, is...

Oh that's a shame thanks for letting me know, i'll give that a go.

Hi there marc4pt0, Sorry to bother you off topic. A long time ago you started a thread for a knife etch on a Shun Fuji 8.5" gyuto here http://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/archive/index.php/t-19864.html which lead me to buying that knife. After some use with the knife I always intended to do the...

After sometime sanding my knife down I've come to realise I will sooner go through my fingers than the cladding, some hard work lies ahead getting the hammered part of the blade out but it'll be worth it.

I just have one more separate question in regards to sanding the knife down, as this is the first time I've done this. The knife I'm looking to etch is the Shun fuji 8.5 inch chefs knife https://www.williams-sonoma.com/products/shun-fuji-chefs-knife/ although the picture on this site doesn't...

Ok that's great thanks, i'll be sure to show my progress on the relevant thread. Thanks again.

Hey, thanks for that info that's a interesting method, but I've just been out to the shop and got a few options. I've bought a 2 litre kilner type jar, but I would have to fill it to the brim to fully submerge the knife as it's only just deep enough, which I'm not too keen on doing with it being...

Just one more quick question. With the knife etch I'm doing, will I be able to post some before and after pictures on the relevant thread on this site? Or would I need to pay for a photobucket account to do that?

Hello, Thanks for the reply. Thinking about it a tub probably isn't the best option, ideally I would go for the lab glass container but lab grade glass can be quite expensive, I did think a large Kilner jar may work but my other issue is I only have 1 litre of ferric chloride so with the...

Hello, Firstly I'd just like to thank you for posting a re-posting this guide. I've had a bottle of ferric chloride and varying grit sandpaper etc... sat on my shelf for about a year +. My knife was quite new back then so I wanted to get a bit more use out of it before I went ahead with the...

OK thanks for the info. *shakes fist at photobuckets policy change*

Hello again, I had lost this thread so I asked this in another thread sorry if this gets confusing, i'm not looking for any old posts of mine. http://www.kitchenknifeforums.com/archive/index.php/t-19864.html this was the thread I was hoping to get the pictures from. The pictures are links to...

Hi, I've tried replying but it doesn't seem to have worked, I think it may be because I replied with a quote maybe... In regards to what is stopping me getting me into my cardey88 account I had forgotten my password and when I went to answer the simple question to which there is only one...

Hi, thanks for getting back to me, I can't seem to find the other thread I started anywhere and there's no link to it on my profile. Not to worry though here's fine. This accounts fine I'd only have to redo my old password. On the account cardey88 I couldn't remember my password and when I...

I'm not sure if I had to title the subject New Member Introduction so I've redone it, again I can't work out why I can't get into my old account (cardey88)

Hi, I actually already had a account but when I answer the "random question" it's saying it's wrong. So I don't know if I answered it wrong originally (I don't know how, its a very simple question). Anyway I've rejoined in the hope that a old thread could be dug out of the archives so can view...
