I have couple of small scratches on my D2 blade.
How can I get rid of it. Can I use a type of sand paper or
a diamond file to file it out. If you can recommend the maker
it will be appreciated.
Thanks for the help
 
I don't know anyway myself to remove scratches but call the manufacture and ask them
 
Scratches used to bother the heck out of me. The first time I scratched my Spyderco CF Dragonfly, I was totally bummed (at the time, it was my nicest knife and the fact that I managed to get it for <$20 after rebate, discounts, and an extra rebate wasn't relevant). Went out and got some wet/dry sand paper in a variety of grits and, starting with 600 grit and finishing with 2000 grit, refinished the blade. A lot of work and ATS-55 is probably a lot easier to refinish than D2.

When I put the first big scratch in my DDR small Apogee, I momentarily thought about sending it off to Darrel to get it refinished. But then I came to my senses and realized that scratches are part of using a knife.

Last week I put some small scratches in the blade of my new TNT (less than a month old). Didn't even raise my pulse rate.

If you use a knife, it'll get scratched. Think of them as character marks.
 
A scratch is a badge of honor!!! Scratch with pride!!! Dvirsky, can you post some pics? I would love to see what kind of finish you ended up with since I'm thinking about playing around with some knives myself.
Thanks,
Matt
 
If you collect knives just to look at, don't carry them or use them. Keep them in a display case and you won't have to worry about scratches. If you carry a knife for use, you will inevitably get scratches. That is the way of things. Besides, if you invest hard earned money on a quality every day carry knife, do yourself a favour and use it. Let it earn it's battle scars. It is only then that you will appreciate the quality of your knife.
 
You guys are right !
I bought my Madd Maxx for EDC ( Super heavy usage)
Man ! D2 blade cuts everything is sight.
It doesn't bother me when I am using it but when its time to put him in bed
it makes me think a little bit.
But any way thanks for reinforcing me why I bought a tough knife like Madd MAXX
in the first place.
