Thank you gentlemen. Just taking a break from the grinding. These things can't be rushed. There is still that hollow ground area that looks darker in the pics. I must carefully and slowly remove the steel from around it. Right now I'm using 180 grit. Once I get it down to where it all reflects back the same, I'll go to a 500 grit and tone it down to a fine satin brushed look. I'm taking a break while the steel cools. I could use water, put I needed a break anyway. The blade never gets too hot to hold, so I'm not worried about the temper.
