Restoring a Kamisori

Hi guys,

I was wondering if anyone had restored a Kamisori. I don't know if I'm just being picky or I'm breaking a rule but I'm trying to give this kamisori a mirror shine.I started with 120grit sandpaper for about half an hour and went up to 400 ( 120,220, 400) and yet the lines are all still there. Is it wrong to try and clean this up? $IMG_1156.jpg$IMG_1157.jpg
 
I knew it. It had a bit of rust on it when i got it from ebay so I thought I could touch it up even more...... thats what I get for being a newb..... no wonder there was a lack of kamisori restoration threads...... now to wait for my coticule to hone this up..

You can do whatever you want to it! The lines are still there because you never sanded them out. I think a mirror polished Kami would look cool myself...although the majority are satin finished.

It left today... It was marked "gift" to help with customs...
