How to Scotch Brite machined titanium scales

[masterj]

So I'm tired of the easily scratched bead blast finish on my crkt eros. Been carrying it for around a month and it's beat to shiet. I want to scotch brite it because it seems impossible to re-blast it since the IKBS system seems to be a hell I rather not have to reassemble. Any advice or recommendations on how to work with machined scales with a scotch brite?

Bsically old the knife in one hand, Scotch Brite pad in the other and scrub away. It's hardly a scientific procedure. Try serching in the forums, there are literally dozens and dozens of threads on this.

First thing you need to know is there are grades of pads. They come in different colors which represent different roughness. There's green, red, and one other color I think which I can not remember. So grab the one(s) that you think will work best.

I have found that applying in single strokes, all heading the same direction gives the best results. I have also found that wetting the pad helps the process. Take your time and be consistent with your strokes. The results can be amazing.

Good luck.

I've looked around but mostly they do knives with flat scales this eros....seems complicated. The implication's to F it up are quite high I feel. Since the scales are machined I feel I should ask around to people who might know more. Don't want to buff the finish away so much that I actually affect the shape of the machinning work.
