I've used fine (1500) sandpaper to sand it following the grind line, but if it's deep enough to catch fingernail then it won't work.

Sounds like good advise.

I use the green 3M Scotchbrite pads and they work really well on light scratches like from rubbing against keys and such. I learned that at the SFO from Gail.

Are those the pads that are about a 1/4" thick and made of an abrasive type plastic?

ChapmanPreferred,I found some of those pads at walmart,and when i got home i started using it and it took the scratches right off,it totally restored the knife to almost factory condition.Thank you for that great advice.:)

Why would you want to remove the scratches? They are what makes an SS knife pretty.

In that case I have a 40 Grit sandpaper that you can borrow, should do the trick :P
