I've read the tutorials regarding the stripping of Bussekin blades. Would bead blasting smooth out a blade properly after the stripping process, thereby being another option to sanding the finish?

Thanks, Mark

You may need to sand to get the larger scratches or any pits out before bead blast. Here is a Ratweiiler with a bead blasted finish.

I don't think so, bead blasting just hits the surface; at least all the pits I've seen require some sanding/grinding to remove.
