Blade finish services...

[arcteryx79]

Hello! Are there any persons or companies that can satin a blade? I have a damn bead-blasted blade that is staining and I can't keep it off, even with break-free and other preventatives. I would like to get a satin finish to hide scratches and marks...
Is there such a thing out there? Or can I do it myself?
THanks!

It's fastest & cheapest to do it yourself.
(1) disassemble the knife & remove the blade
(2) tape or (better) clamp the blade to a workbench
(3) go at it with some 600-grit sandpaper; lengthwise will be easier than going across the width of the blade, but careful not to cut yourself! You may want to dull the edge before sanding, as that's much safer. You can resharpen afterwards.
(4) if that's not nice enough, get a higher grit and go back over it. Don't go too high unless you want a polished blade.
