I've taken a grinder to it to make a fuller and ever since it's looked like this. How do I make it look professional?

Put it in a vice and hit it with a long straight file a few hundred times on each side. Depending on your skill this could take all month.

get a blue sharpie and color in wherever you want to remove metal. use snap lines and straight edges to keep it neat. then remove sharpie ink with grinder. repeat until the final form is ideal.
then use sanding disks all over the blade to make a uniform finish, starting with 80 grit and going up to whatever you like. 400-600 grit is a nice basic satin/crocus finish level.
expect to use at least one disc per grit level, so buy the multipacks or whatever

Both viable solutions thank you anons.
Sounds like it's going to be a lot of work but I'll get some professional artisanal experience out of it

Angle grinder? What tools do you have? What steel is that? That handguard isn't welded on, is it? And the tang of the blade goes all the way through that handle, right?

Anyways, this is what you need to do to the blade:
>Mark and grind the rough profile
>Heat treat (exact process depends on the steel you're using)
Remember, you have to use abrasives (like sandpaper or grinders) after heat treating. If you are using files, for example, you'll have to do that all before heat treating.
>Grind fuller using bench or belt grinder
It is possible to make a fuller with an angle grinder, but doing it freehand is a recipe for disaster. There are plenty of other ways to do it too so look into them.
>Grind bevels, ideally using a belt grinder/sander
This is very difficult and hard to get right. You might be better off just taking it slow and using a file. Don't forget your blade geometry here. The blade should be thinner towards the tip than at the hilt, both in width and thickness.
