The coating isn't difficult to remove with chemical stripper, although coated blades often have grind marks and "INFI dimples" under the coating. Polishing those out would would be more difficult and probably also remove the logo stamp. JYD #60

Dan said he's never doing another Dogfather LE again! lol maybe if we beg and cry enough! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> JYD#18 "Server Slayer"

Seemed like a good idea at the time! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> JYD #109 "I came here for the knives and stayed for the people."

The coating isn't difficult to remove with chemical stripper, although coated blades often have grind marks and "INFI dimples" under the coating. It had a satin finish. Since they did not come from Scrap Yard this way, it is possible the temper may have been degraded. Quote Polishing those out would would be more difficult and probably also remove the logo stamp. Not all coated SS4s have the "INFI" logo; like the one in the picture below. Even so, it's still INFI?

There's an easy way to tell if a knife is INFI, logo or not. Carefully put the spine under your nose. Gently inhale. If it smells like crisp $100 bills then it's INFI. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> F5 like you mean it!
