Buffing wheel for knife blade

A sisal wheel with black compound is considered "an initial rough cut" from a polishing perspective. "Polishing" normally means you're looking for a mirror finish. A sisal wheel with black compound will leave a "slightly foggy", polished finish.  

If you're trying to get rid of scratches on a blade, you would probably be happier with something like 600 grit grease-less abrasive on a sewn cotton or denim buffing wheel.

Scotch-Brite belts are probably better at removing (and concealing) scratches on a blade, and it's as easy as changing a belt. Way safer and easier to use for most people.

Thank you Mark,

I have Blue & magenta Scotch-Brite belts and I love it. It makes great satin finish.
