Guys, I've used my Manix C95 quite a bit lately. Most recently to whittle an "epoxy plug" on a project I was building. Some of the (semi-dried) epoxy ended up on the blade and it won't come off using mu fingernails. What can I use to get it off the blade so that my Manix steel (highly polished S30V) is bright and shiny again? Any and all advice is appreciated. Thanks.
 
If your wife has some finger nail polish remover you might give that a try as a quick and easy option. If that does not work a product called Attack will do the trick. Google Attack epoxy and you will find multiple sources.
 
Try lighter fluid or "Goo-Gone" (it comes in a bottle). Coat the blade with one or the other and use toothpicks or those long bamboo skewers/toothpicks to gently scrape the epoxy off.
Womens nail polish remover used to be mostly acetone. You can buy acetone in any hardware store, however ITS KINDA TOXIC (fumes etc.) so be careful!!!! Better yet try lighter fluid or Goo-Gone instead of Acetone.
