Just got some oil on the very bottom of a blade where the handle is, how do I remove it..?
Also, what do you guys use to "finish" your blades?
Well, I use acetone to clean everything, it will take the oil off the blade, as far as the finsh, wet and dry sandpaper, each grit go a different way and end up on your last grit going stright down the blade
hope this helps

Is it ok to do 400 - 800 - 1000 grit for that? Or is that to little?

Sorry about the double post, it depends on your finsh you want if you want a mirror finsh go to 2000, I do some at 600 & 800 grit

As said by Dana, depends on the finish you want. I've finished a few blades out to 400 grit sand paper, then took it to a bench grinder with those "scotch brite" type pads. Stack 2 of the maroon colored ones on instead of the rough wheel and it leaves a pretty nice finish-takes out the small scratches left by the sand paper.

I usually only bring the blades to a hand-rubbed 600 grit finish. Leaves a nice durably satin finish that doesn't show scratches nearly as much as a highly polished blade.
