Hey guys hows it going? I just picked up a Scrapper 6 LE and there is some staining on either side of the blade. Does anyone know a reliable person who is specialized in cleaning up satin blades and who could also get this thing back to razor sharpness? Thanks for any help!

Get some scotch bright for discoloration, and may I suggest HD to put a scary sharp convex on her.

Make a deal, face the wheel! I could put it to the Scotchbrite wheels and bring the shine back. Sharpening it is not a problem. PM me if you want to part with it for a few days. If I think it is beyond all hope, I'll just pay you for the knife. Always wanted a Scrapper 6 LE. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Cake or Death!

Vic (Horn Dog) can fix it up for you! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Patina (staining) is just a sign the knife is actually being used and that's just the nature of carbon knives. Patina also helps from further corrosion. I remember last year when staining was so popular people were dipping their knives in mustard and vinegar to speed up the process. I personally think it looks great and add a lot of character.

Here's my RC izula before and after a couple weeks use.



As for the sharpening, I'd take up HD's offer, you'll have a sweet convvex. But I highly recommend you learn how to sharpen knives yourself. I think it's a very important skill to have if you are a knife user. Before I got my belt sander, I went from the spyderco sharpmaker to just some sandpaper, it worked faster and I got better results (and it only cost me a few bucks).

Brendan - you can't go wrong with HornDog! He's top-notch all the way! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

vic would have beat the samurai. i don't care what that show said.
