Finish prior to heat treat and after process

Doing my second knife, graduated to 1084 from lawnmower blades. Finished knife to 400 grit satin and then heat treated. Brought to non magnetic and two trips to the oven at 450 for an hour each. Was excited to remove the tarnish and get my blade looking good again. Start to take off scale with 400 grit couldn't move it. Moved to 220 grit barely moved it. Moved to 150 grit and one and half hours later back to 150 grit satin. Holy guacamole there must be an easier way. Any suggestions?
