Tossed some compound on the cloth wheel and went at it slowly as to not heat the blade up or buff out the weak part of the stamping or the lines. Its something you probably don't want to do if your not 100% confident in what your doing. Buffing knives can be deadly.

If so, this is the wrong thread and, of course, there are charges to list knives for sale on this forum. Please advise, Capt.
