How many 511's I used? I don't remember, maybe about 6-8.
No I did not finish with anything, I only used the 511.

Norman,
The right side of the blade has one broad fuller, not very deep, and on the other side of the blade there are two very narrow fullers.
I don't know why they made blades like this, maybe to show the skill of the weapon smith, but I think these blades are as strong as any other blade.

Thanks for the tips bud! I'll have to add some 511s to my dremel box 'O' bits!

Norman.

Looking good mate, silicon carbide paper on a block and files are the method I've alweays used. Slow as hell but forgiving of mistakes.
Hmmm, hot air gun!! Good call! I might have to do my pair of bikiner Tulwars soon
