Blade/knife cleaning and wax/polish questions
2015年1月23日 · 1--For cleaning general dirt/grime, fingerprints and other oils off of knife blades and handles, I’ve seen Windex recommended as the best product. Is that correct? Would mineral spirits, denatured alcohol or rubbing alcohol be any better? I …
Mirror polishing M390? - BladeForums.com
2005年12月20日 · Large-sized particulates trapped in oil-residue from the previous stage will keep making those big scratches, completely nullifying all of your attempts at mirror-polish. I ordered some polishing equipment which should be arriving in about ten days. My very first project as a knife collector will be to mirror-polish my M390 knife.
Using a Dremel to mirror polish a knife? | BladeForums.com
2000年6月6日 · If you want a true mirror polish on your Becker you'll need to spend allot of time on low grits and slowly working your way through the progression. All together it took me around 12 hours of hand sanding to polish my bk2 up to 3k grit. Afterwards I used a dremel with the polishing kit and some flitz polish and went over the blade real good ...

2011年12月11日 · Assuming your knife & hatchet are simple carbon steel, this sanding scheme should work pretty fast and polish up nice.

Remove light scratches on polished blade - BladeForums.com
2008年5月16日 · I've found that most blades really don't have much of a polish on the body at all. Most seem to stop somewhere between 220 and 320. The idea of using a powered system with a very high grit abrasive can work. But it's going to leave a polish determined entirely by the abrasive you use.
Polishing Blades to a Mirror Finish and Beyond!

Taking Scratches Out of Mirror Finish Blades - BladeForums.com
2010年4月1日 · I've had a couple of knives for a year or two that need minor scratches taken out and I kept putting it off, but just recently received another used Buck with a mirror finish blade. It has a few small scratch marks on both sides of the blade...nothing deep though. I would like to try doing it myself if I can and not sending them to Idaho.
Toothpaste polishing. - BladeForums.com
2010年3月1日 · I've never used toothpaste as a polish for my knives but before I knew much about abrasive compounds I used it to give a light polish to the bore of my paintball gun barrel. It worked really well but it took a lot longer than using an actually compound.
