I stripped down one of my boss street users. It was black micarta on a black blade. I gave it a bit of satin. I'm going to try out that thin ground convexed edge on my Saturday morning thick slab bacon...

Beautiful job, man. Pardon my dumb, but looks like you couldn't help but remove a little metal. How did you preserve the logo?
 
That looks killer, how did you get so close to the handle? Did you remove the slabs?
 
Just paint stripper and elbow grease. Soaked the whole knife for ten minutes then wiped it down. Wash with hot water and dish soap. Dry thoroughly. 00 and 0000 steel wool and metal polish. Ceramic stones and stropped.....
 
You must have got lucky, no pits, no carbon layer. It looks great.
I have stripped some INFI but nothing that looks that clean.
 
A bit of carbon between the finger guard and choil that I left alone. That's it. It was the easiest that I've got to strip. I didn't even buy her a drink!
 
Nice job ! That looks pretty much factory . I find on smaller blades that I far prefer a blade with no coating . I just find a knife works better AND of corse looks better as well .

Man that turned out great!
I was thinking of stripping my BS, you convinced me.
