Military name on blade, is it removable???

[jeepin]

I was curious to know, if the word (Military), on the blade is removable?, if it is dooes anyone know how to, I want something that wont scratch up the blade trying to take it off, I hope thats possible..

I think the only practical way is to grind it out, and re-polish, whether that's desireable would depend on how deep it is. I've seen etchings that are very superficial, and some impressions that are real deep.

Other options would be to weld it and grind, wherin it would probably be faster to make a new blade. Or mill a slot, and fill it with something like your name.

On all mine very fine sand paper would take it off.I took off the etching on a BRK Native with 2000 grit sand paper and polished it with jewelers rouge.

what about some 0000 steel wool, would that work??

You might want to try Citristrip, IMHO the best paint stripper out there. Dab a little on there with a Q-tip and let it sit for like 15 min at least. Guaranteed 100% scratch-free .

That won't work.The engraveing is done with a laser and it turns the steel black the only way to get it off is to remove the thin layer of steel that has changed color.
I like the Military on the blade.I am thinking about haveing the Gunsite raven engraved under the Military on mine.

If it is not actually engraved into the metal, then bead blasting should remove it. I have thought about having one of my Ronins bead blasted to remove the model name in the event I wanted to travel to an area where utility knives are legal but weapons are prohibited.
