Remove/strip blade finish-how to?

[thatsteveguy]

I picked up some inexpensive knives recently that I plan to experiment on. The first one is a stonewashed anodized in blue and gold with a camo printed blade. I want to strip the blade finish and just put a nice stone-wash finish on it to blend with the anodized stone-wash finish of the body. Does anyone know how to strip/remove the camo blade finish like you see in the photo?

WELCOME!

Common paint strippers like Citristrip and Jasco will do it.

Citristrip is safe enough to use indoors but Jasco is more aggressive. If using outdoors in cold weather, most strippers will take a lot longer to work.

Awesome, thanks for the tip. I'm fairly new to blades so I need to suck up some of the blade wisdom here on this forum.

Suck away! There's tons of it and more just for the asking.

Of course, when you get to stripping we'd luv to know how it went along with pics. Remember, "pics or it didn't happen".
