I have a couple knives that have emblems or whatever they are called. Those knifes of course got a few small scratches on them. Is there a way to remove these scratches without hurting the emblems? If not is there a way to put them back? My other question is there a way to remove scratches from a blade that has a texture? Ill try to post some pics to show you guys more what I mean.

Its hard to see the word but it says Remington
 
You have this in the right section but I don't know if you mean you want to remove the Word Remington? Is that what you meant?
 
I understand. Not quite sure what to tell you but it might work using fine grit sand paper but it would probably be a time consuming job. Hopefully someone else here can recommend something. Lot of good people in this forum.
 
Unfortunately, no, there isn't. It's called a "Makers Mark". They are either laser, chemical/electro marked or etched onto the blade. Since removing the the scratches is removing metal, the mark will go as well at some point.

As for your other question, that "texture" your referring to is actually grind lines from when the maker set the primary grind of the blade. And that is a rough one! Looks to be 50 or 60 grit. Maybe lower. I grind my primaries to 400 grit. Once again, to remove the horizontal scratches, will interrupt the vertical grind lines. If you are careful and use some sand paper in a vertical(same way as the grind lines) motion, you can limit the interruption. Use some low grit sand paper on a flat block. Try 60 or 80 grit. Should be able to blend it all in.
 
I'm sorry. It's not that low. Just the magnification. Use 220 grit paper. Same thing. Go carefully in the same direction as the grind lines. And use a hard flat block-wood block is fine.
