I use this knife at work and we use mixtures of paint and hardener. Some got on my caly 3.5 scales and I couldn't get it off. Any recommendations would be appreciated.



 
I think it looks good...let a user show its marks! That said...G10 is supposed to be resistant to chemicals of various types, so there's a chance that paint stripper could work. Don't try it based on my word alone though...I've never tried it on G10 and don't know how it would turn out. I have had good luck with Mr. Clean Magic Erasers on G10 though so that could be a good first start, especially since I can guarantee that it won't harm the knife. Hopefully someone can chime in on paint stripper or some similar substance though as I'm curious myself as to how such a substance would react with G10.

I don't think that even paint stripper would work because of the hardener.
 
That could very well be the case. I'd try a Magic Eraser...they work very well with some scrubbing. My first thought though is to embrace it...if you want a perfect knife buy a backup to be a safe queen. There's something aesthetically pleasing to knife people seeing a knife that is being used and appreciated, and no other knife will look exactly the same (Unless compared to another unused safe queen of course).

This is from sweating in my jeans...I could wash it off but I choose not to. I adds to the character of the knife in my opinion.
