I'd like some advice on the best way to remove a Kalgard finish from the D2 blade on one of my knives. Since contact with the sheath seems to remove it rather easily, I imagine that removing it completely should not be too difficult; however, before I screw things up...

Is there a solvent that would work? (The scales are Kalgard coated black Micarta. If there is a solvent, I think I'd like to strip them as well. Since they are grooved, I don't think simple buffing would do the trick here.) If not, what buffing compound would you folks recommend? I don't have access to many power tools, but can use either a Dremel w/felt wheels or a hand drill w/muslin wheels.

As an alternative to doing it myself, if anyone would like to volunteer to do it for a reasonable fee, I'm all ears.

Hello,

SOunds like a BEAUCHOP knife is what you have. Any way if you want to send it to me at my shop i will do it for you at no charge, as long as you pay return shipping.

It doesnt take very long in a bead blast cabinet to remove the Kal-guard .

anyway i am offering to do it for ya if ya want it done,, just let me know.

If you send it , the day i get it i would Do the removal and re ship it the same day.


So let me know,

Allen Blade
