you can use the dremel, i use diamond filesNooooo! I'm a 5th degree Dremel grandmaster. I wear out a Dremel a year and cannibalize them for parts to keep the others running. Even I wouldn't try filework with them. You'll never get near the quality that Sid does without some diamond files, the the higher quality the better. http://www.ottofrei.com/store/home.php?cat=931I've never done filework on a blade but I have carved a lot of titanium and platinum with diamond files for jewelry and you need that slow removal as well as the profile of the files to get the pattern right. A Dremel is a broadsword, you want a scalpel. The Valtitan files are steel at 72 RC and they'll work too since Vic stainless is about 58.
Thanks for the advice guys. Great pics. I only want to do some simple work just to give the blade a touch of class. Where would I get some diamond files from and are they expensive? If not, ill pick some up.Cheers
