ive done a handful of mirror finishes, or close to it, with sandpaper, and i strangely really enjoy the process. i cant imagine how challenging it would be to do on the stones. i guess if you have really flat geometries... with sandpaper it only really takes a couple hours, depending on how fast, and how fussy you are. i would recommend a practice with a cheap knife to get the feel, but it isnt hard. you just need to work patiently through a succession of grits. i typically start at 800 grit (depending on the existing finish), onto 1000, then 1500, 2000, 3000 and then 5000 for the last step. i really like these trizact pads for my 3000 and 5000 steps- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LIXEWXO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
i stop there but you can keep going on pretty much forever if you want.
work each grit at a different angle from the last, and sand until all lines from the previous grit have disappeared. do not skimp here.
i dont recommend big jumps in grits until you are in the higher ranges.
also as ref gent said above watch your tip and heel so that you dont blunt your points. areas near the handle can be challenging and you can easily scratch your handle, so i would use a little tape to protect it.
Just letting you guys know, you can accomplish the same thing as this device was designed for, but with better results by using Trizact 5000 grit wetsand paper. Then shine it back up with some good polishing compound and a soft cotton cloth. Just a bit of info.
