You may be out of luck then. I remember seeing a modded one in the gallery some time ago that had the balls removed, but I don't know how difficult it is to do.intheusa said:yeah. it seems like all of those have black blades though, and i kind of like the satin finish
could you elaborate on that a little bit?orthogonal1 said:You can always do the oxy-clean treatment to the dots. They'll turn gray/brown.
orthogonal1 said:There are some threads where they used Oxi-Clean (the cleaner) to oxidize the color out of the "dots." It apparently worked successfully.
They just experimented by applying with a Q-tip and letting it do its work for varying times.
samhain said:Just get some Oxy clean(the clothes soap additive) and put in a pot of boiling water. Remove from stove, pour mixture into a tall glass, and put the handle slabs into the mixture. 15 min later, the scales are a nice gray as opposed to greenish, and the rainbow is replaced with an antique gray finish. You have to take apart the skirmish to do this though.
