one question please,i have a caly 3,in ZDP-189 with three layer blade construction on its blade,and was wondering what the best way to removing little scratches on the blade!will that fliz polishing stuff do,or something other to try!it just bugs me to death as there are no grind marks per say,its just high polish that pick up every thing and shows it,this is my first blade with this treatment,thought i would ask 1st before i try removing them!thanks guys.
 
That 420j will scratch if you look at it sideways. I gave up on the scratch removal long ago but a buffing wheel with some compound will knock them back.

This is how I refinish a Spyderco.

320 grit wet/dry on top of a waterstone, lay blade flat and stroke in one direction only. Once scratch pattern looks even jump to 2000 grit wet/dry and make a handful of passes per side. Doesn't take much, maybe a minute or two per side and you will think it just came from Spyderco. Simple, fast, and effective.
