Removing or lightening patina on Super Blue, 01 tool-steel blades?

[Sonnydaze]

Certainly, SuperBlue takes on a patina...sometimes faster and sometimes not fast at all. So far, I have been most interested in the rainbow colors when cucumbers are used for a forced patina on SB. Really very nice.

However, can small "spots" in a new, shiny SB blade be polished out, and if so, how? Dremel and Flitz?
Since some of these are intended as gifts, without patina, I need some help.

Also, I have a O1 Steel fixed blade, in pic, with a forced patina that is "too much" of a good thing. I'd like to lighten this up a bit without destroying a perfectly excellent blade and knife. Dremel and Flitz? 2,000 grit wet-and-dry sandpaper? I have no clue and would appreciate your help.


thanks for your help,
Sonnydaze

start with an eraser to remove/lighten the big nasty spots

I used a Rust Eraser to clean up forced patina when I didn't want the whole blade patina'd. Cleaned off the patina I didn't want and left a matte finish.
