Spot on Blade

Post by ONeal 51 »

Can someone let me know if and how I might be able to get this spot off the blade? It’s the only bad spot on the knife. Thank you in advance!

I wouldn’t call it a “spot”. From the picture it appears to be pitted. If so removing it will require removal of significant metal. Sandpaper, buffing, etc are the only things I’m aware of that will remove it, and those will remove enough metal to significantly de-value the knife. At least in my opinion you’re better off just leaving it be, but you might fool some buyer with shiny pictures. ::shrug::

Others may disagree, or have a different method to remove the pits.

I'd have to agree with Ken.....it more than a spot, it's metal that has been removed and the only way that I know to repair is to remove the stock around the gouge using sandpaper and elbow grease and then buffing.....I'd leave it alone unless it's bugging you ::tu::
