Removing black oxide.

[smcjoecohen@yahoo]

I wanted to make the Black oxide blade on my Strider smfcc satin, or maybe stonewashed. Does anyone know how hard it is to remove the oxide? I've read to use acid and then some buffing wheel. I'll try on a cheap knife first. I also wanted to swap blades on SMF's, Strider wrote me "don't do it" it will mess up lockup.
