I have no idea why anyone would smooth the frizzen face or worry about what it looked like as long as it is throwing a good shower of sparks.
I ask that question often, some people even will often sand and carburize a frizzen over and over, with this actually hurting the frizzen’s causing it to lose carbon quicker.
I case harden alloy steel frizzens, 6150, and others with fruit pit charcoal and quench in hot water, this works very well for me. 1095 i always oil harden, it sparks the best but its difficult to get the right temper.
