That's exactly what I'm harping about all the time. Nothing wrong with mirror finishes if you really know how to do one. Blurred details and polished scratches are not a proper mirror finish and what you intended to be fancy is now a testament to just how much of a rookie you actually are.
Noobs: if you are making your first few knives, possibly even your first few dozen knives, and you're thinking of polishing the blades, don't. Almost no chance you'll be able to do it right. Wait at least until you know how to do a really clean satin finish on your blades before you try to polish. Know why? Because that's the first step to being able to get a clean mirror polish ...
