What is a snail trail?

Are you talking about a DLC coated blade or a titanium handled military?

Why erase the beautiful art work you've decorated your millie with?

 

[DocT]

You could try Flitz or some polishing compound. You could also try stone washing or bead blasting. Better yet, you could have someone engrave it for you and that would help hide scratches.

Agreed. Every one of those is a memory you and the knife have made together. I say leave 'em there. The knife earned 'em... just like your scars.

I say leave 'em!

ok so i will let more snail trails on and maybe after years and year it will look sweet

 

[kniferbro]

That sounds like a plan! Can't wait to see some pics

Leave Them Alone. I have a few ti CRK's that look great with snail trails or character marks. The knife looks 'used' with marks/scratches.
Why would you want to have your Millie look nib? You've used it, have it look used.

The half of my sebenza that's ti has nice markings as well. I'd like to get a full ti sebenza and see how it turns out.
