Be careful, it's sharp! I have the same problem with my DFLE turning colors from pine trees. Horn Dog, I remember you mentioned something like wiping it down with paint thinner or alcohol to clean your blades? Can't remember exactly what it was. JYD #85

It also discolors some of my coating on certain blades. KS JYD #93 "Life's too short..."

Alcohol will remove pine sap from your hands and blades even better than turpentine, which is surprising. As for removing sap stains, I polish them out with my buffing wheel. Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.
