KNIFE MAKER
I have mostly used carbon steels like 1075, 1084 and 1095. I never had any complaints about hand sanding. Almost always start at 100 grit, and proceed to 180 grit, 240, 320 grit, 400 grit, 600 grit, etc. etc. etc.
Recently, I started using 440C. Man, is it hard. And, hard to sand. It seems to take forever to make any progress. 100 grit does not seem to make a dent in it. Am I just missing something? Any hints??
