Need some advise. Just received a cutting jian from Seven Star Trading. Just as expected...very nice. However the edge could be better. Not consistant, sharpness wise. Will not cut paper. Prefer to start out cutting with a sharp blade. What is the best method to reveal the edge for a novice? Your thoughts?

If your edge is just not consistent it may just need polishing - see my old thread about half way down here - viewtopic.php?f=19&t=13285Also consider getting a "Harbour Freight" 30x1 belt grinder/polisher along with some fine and very fine belts - www.harborfreight.com/1-in-x-30- ... 60543.html

A touch up with a ceramic stick should be enough, if not, then use a super-fine grit diamond sharpener first. Touch up the edge only. No need for a major sharpening that takes metal off the side of the blade, most factory edges on swords can be taken to shaving sharp in under five minutes. I have this sword and it comes with a decent enough edge, make it even along its length by hand, it takes less time than it does to unpack it from the packaging!
