Thanks for the above, I will try to see if I can find those powder!

For all of you who are interested, after my final polishing phrase, here is the final

www.taoistmasterblog.com/han-jia ... -polished/

it's so nice in real person, look as shiny as the battle gim, but not as crazy as the jade lion, haha~ it's beauty is what I call "concealed beauty". Nice blade~ I chopped and did some abuse with it, and so far no damage and no wobbly, pretty okay for me~!

i'd like to see a rodell jian repolished with that method

sure the blade is not folded and will not be as beautiful as a foded blade but still it would be an improvement to the polish i've seen on the picture.

I trust my hands can bring the cutting sword to a mirror finish too, but must start with sandpaper of rough grade.. like 180 or something is my bet.. then 220, 320, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 2000, 3000, compound, powder.. oh yeah, it's going to be a mirror like sword! good idea for the cutting sword!

Oh yeah, that's why they can cut cost too, because it save a lot of labor cost for polish and sanding! hahah!

Same to my thunder god katana too, it cost me $100 only and they skip all the polishing job.. funny that I can do that all by myself and tranform it up to a higher cost blade~ haha!

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT

choseychas: Huh. Is there no fix on our side then? Or is it that you need to contact an admin since the auto system is down? Nov 18, 2024 3:58:50 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT
