Heres another naked Busse thread.I am posting it to let those who have not tried know that anyone can do it if I can.
I am happy with it as is.The dimples are staying because I think sanding them may be beyond my skill and I like them.No use making a custom out of a user.
I sprayed the stripper on and let sit about 15 min,washed and got off what I could and coated again.Used a bronze bore brush to get it all out of the dimples.I then used a coarse and med dremel scotch brite wheel to get the finish as it is now.One side affect of the scotch brite wheels is that they really polished the edge,noticed it was like a razor when I was done.

Excellent job. The dimples are easily removed but it takes a lot of elbow grease. Not really worth it unless the look really bothers you. I like dimples for the most part.
 
Beautiful knife, did the same to mine, and I had no intentions of removing the INFI dimples, it's the look I was after. I started to polish the spine, when I noticed a nice wave pattern that I've left as is. I'll add some shots later this weekend.
