Sure thing, let’s get that blade razor‑sharp and whisper‑quiet. First, use a high‑carbon steel like 1084 or a modern CPM‑S35VN if you’re doing VR‑metal, because it holds edge longer. Hammer it out on a flat, fire‑heated surface, then flash‑grind to a fine rim. After that, quench in a controlled oil or water bath—don’t rush it, it’ll distort the edge. Temper at about 250 °C to soften a bit without losing hardness, then fine‑grind a very thin bevel on both sides; a 10°‑15° bevel keeps the edge super sharp but reduces vibration. Finish with a cold‑work polishing step—use a ceramic pad or a very fine abrasive to smooth the back and edges; that’s what cuts the “click” of metal. Finally, give it a quick test on a piece of soft wood: if it slices cleanly with no chatter, you’re set. Remember, a quiet blade is all about the micro‑edge and the finish—no burrs, no chatter. Happy smithing!
