Started another knife. Spent hours trying to get a mirror finish but I could not got the grind marks out of blade. Finally started over with windex and 400 thru 1500 grit sandpaper and it took them right out.
The buffer will absolutely, as the manual warns, grab whatever (that knife) you are buffing and fling onto the workbench if you are not paying attention. That is why you are suppossed to mount on a pedestal rather than a workbench so it will get spit out onto the floor. I'm not even sure if you need to buff if you hand rub the metal with a really fine sandpaper.
