All About Pocket Knives

i recently bought an older kissing crane fixed blade knife that looks mint except for just a couple light scratches near the top of the blade from what looks like to me someone trying to sharpen the knife would like some advice on how i can remove thise scratches without getting myself into more work than my capability will allow and it also has some etching on one side and i dont wanna mess that up so any infonwoukd he appreciated

Here’s a link to a post by one of the knife cleaning/polishing pros - people send him their knifes to be restored, for a fee of course. viewtopic.php?f=38&t=47909 All parts of this post won’t be applicable to your knife but you should be able to pick out the parts you can use in your case. And stay away from the etch!

i appreciate the reply im not good with computers or the internet fir that manner ive been around knives my whole life but im new to alot of things so any help is welcome so i should jus let the scratches not bother me they are only a couple minor ones at the top i think i can polish it really good and that might be good enough to satisfy my brain into letting me have peace about it but im ginna watch the link based on past experiences and the etch is the reason i ask for help the knife is a KC rob klaas 715 with the whitetail and cranes solingen germany etch i do NOT wanna mess that up

I understand. It may or may not comfort you to know the link I provided is to a post here that you can read, not a video. Just click on the words in blue viewtopic.php?f=38&t=47909. That should take you to the post with written instructions about how to clean and polish your knife.
