Note to all Spyderco users :
A gunsmith friend
of mine once showed me how to remove some marks left on a Kriss blade stiletto by a
diamond sharpener ; I was to later use this
technique on my "Cricket". My "Cricket" had
seen use opening bags of dry dog food, cutting floor tile, and various other chores
( it was more than up to the task(s)). One day I noticed light scoring on the blade which marred it's finish. I then went to a
local hardware store and bought some emory
cloth ( 3M 413Q ( coarse grain ) and T481
( fine grain )) ; I polished the scratched blade with the coarse grain first ( to eliminate the scratches ) and then used the
fine grain to bring the blade back to snuff.
( if you want better, bring your Spydie to
a professional metal polisher or gunsmith )
You might also want to buff the blade with
Metal Glo or like polish for added appearance
sake.
