I got a nice active duty at blade. I want to put a nice polish job on the blade. I searched you-tube and the rest of the net and cant find anything. I was thinking about using a dremel tool with a polish wheel. Then use some polish compound. I have never done this, so I wanted to get some advice. Has anyone done this? Any advice?
Thanks, David

Dremels produce very spotty results, I've tried. Difficult to control and doesn't look good at all. I would put a polishing wheel on a bench grinder.

Sorry if this doesn't help, but if it is an uncoated blade I would just try Flitz and a rag to start

It is what Mike Stewart told me to use to clean up some patina on my bravo 1

I have used simichrome on some of my blades and that stuff makes the blades really really shiny.
