I need some help finding a tool to finish making my sword?
i am making myself a full sized buster style sword out of high grade carbon steel and to finish the edge i am trying to find a manual grinder that i can use to edge the weapon. i do not want to use an electric grinder because it leaves an ugly ground edge on the metal. if anyone knows of a tool i can use please respond thank you

There are a few old grind stones still in use some places. You might have to haunt some antiques stores to find one. They are set on a frame and peddled to turn the wheel. This would probably be the best for starting the edge on your sword. Then finishing with whet stone.
i don’t know sorry wish i could help
If you have already ground the edge with the electric grinder and just want to do the finishing, there’s a video on my site of a swordsmith explaining what to do. Take a look http://www.chinese-swords-guide.com/sword-sharpening.html
