Re: I started looking at my case tear drop and in the right lighting there seems to be sanding marks

Screenshot_20211103-125255_(1).png I would give it a good rub with some Flitz and see if that fixes it for you. If that doesn't get the micro scratches out, and it was my knife, I would hit it with a buffer wheel loaded with tripoli or another gentle polishing rouge. Of course, you could just leave...

I looked very closely at my case teardrop and there seems to be small sanding marks in the right lighting

The blade is mirror polished, but in the right lighting, there seems to be a bunch of small marks like a brushed satin blade. Is this normal or is it something I have done? Also, could it be the steel grain?

How can you tell?
I have seen that type in person. It's some type of plastic, but not celluloid.
Oh, thank you for the quick response. I am glad to hear that by the way.

Also, am I correct in assuming all other similar Colonial white and black faux bone knives are made of the same material?

I am not going to disclose anything about them, other than they died from Schizophrenia. What I mean when I say that is they have done something too horrific for me to say because of their Schizophrenia, and they died from it.
