Sorry, it was more a question of stock removal producing a useful/good blade vs smithing and forging.

All other things being equal (same modern steel, same heat treatment), there will be no difference between a forged knife and one produced via stock removal.

Except the grain structure.

Grain structure is a function of heat treatment. Again assuming a modern steel, if you take a forged knife and a stock removal knife and put them both through identical normalization, quench and temper, they will have identical grain structure.

Does anyone have a preferred abrasive? I've been really liking the Klingspor reaper series as well as Norton blaze. Been getting really good life from the blaze belts I've been using on N690

I've found 3M Cubitron II to last much longer than Norton Blaze, at least for the 50 grit belts I use for heavy grinding.
