An acquaintance of mine told me that the best way to polish swords (even Japanese!) is to use an electrically-powered contraption (lsuch as a a drill) fitted with a felt wheel and jewellers Rouge. he showed me some of the final results and they looked very good.
Does anybody have an opinion?
Also, would one use an etchant on the Japanese blade to accentuate the hamon?
