You know I have finished the knife except for my mark and sharpening. I am hoping to get my new logo before the Expo and use it instead of my old one. The 416 was most definitely easier to saw, mill and grind but I still had to go high up in grit to get the finish I wanted. It really stumps me. My wife, comforting me as she does says "Well how long has Steve Johnson been making knives?" I say "oh 40 years maybe", she says "there you go". Didn't make me feel better. Ha Ha. If I looked at the finish in the sunlight it looked great, but under the fluorescent lighting I could see the scratch marks. So I went to the higher grits. I would have come back and asked for help, but it has been explained as well as it can be I think. I do like the 416 better. It was easier to work with. I'll try again.
