I used to my angle grinder and sanding disks to finish the blade. I just used 60-grit disks for all the blade work (polishing and sharpening).
On the pointed end, I used the 60-grit to bevel the edges to about 45 degrees, to put a decent edge on it (perfection is not required).
I then drilled the holes to 3/8” to fit my binding post fasteners. This took forever as titanium is very hard to drill. This is where I realized I should have modeled in the correct size holes for the posts for the waterjet to cut. This would have saved me time.
I then cleaned up the holes with the angle grinder by sanding off the burrs left from drilling.
