Queen 64 Canoe Bolster Corrosion

I began carrying this Queen #64 Canoe as an EDC, and the bolsters quickly corroded. Looks like copper oxidation to me - green in color. I have quite a few other #64s in my collection and none of them have done this, although they haven't been riding around in my pocket, either.

Any suggestions on how to clean this up without causing further damage? I really like this knife and would hate to retire it.

Thanks!

A little Flitz polish, should take it off.

Glad you were able to get it cleaned up.
Love that amber bone!
I have a couple Queens with that, so I can tell by yours how really beautiful that must be in the hand!!

Nice knife. I hope this doesn’t stop you from carrying it.

Thanks. It definitely won't stop me from carrying it, especially now that I know how easy it is to clean up again! :D
