Hey guys. Having lost my SS Soddie Jr. a few weeks ago (probably still in the belly of a gator) I got me another one tonight. My CV one keeps rusting and rusting at work, even with a thick patina on it, so I got me another SS one. My question is, does anyone know how to take the Sodbuster logo etching off the blade? Can it be taken off? If anyone knows how, please let me know. I'd really like to have it cleaned.
 
I believe the stomach acid of a bull gator at least 15' long will do the trick.
However, you'll have to hold the knife while it's in the gator's belly for precisely 15 minutes! :eek: ;)

Seriously, though, if it's etched on, probably something like Flitz or Simichrome and some 0000 steel wool might work.

Others with more experience will set you on the right path, I'm sure.

Yes, this would work, but using the following and a little less elbow grease: 400 grit wet-dry w/mineral oil, 600(same), 800(same), 1,000(same), 1,500(same), 2,000(same) would make quick work of it within perhaps 1 hour or so.

Nah, just fire up the old Dremel tool and have at it. You'll be done in 30 seconds. :eek:

(Just kidding, in case you were wondering. This may work, but you'll get a very uneven look.)

I have been able to remove some etchings with "Gun Scrubber" without sanding, just some light rubbing.
 
Sunny,

It's an aerosol cleaning agent/solvent that you can use to clean out the chambers/barrels of your firearms. I think I have a can in the shop somewhere that I took home from the job some years back. Never got around to using it as I've always cleaned my firearms manually rather than the "spray and drip" method. (I'm sure, without having discussed it, that Gus is meticulous with his as well.)

PS: Sunny, check your email (filter) for email I sent last night as well as several days back via my two email accounts.
 
"Gun Scrubber" is Birchwood-Casey's brand name for a aerosol solvent that is almost identical to commercial brake cleaner. The main difference is that GS goes for $8-12 a can where brake cleaner goes for about $2-3/can.

I use it (brake cleaner) for removing really stubborn powder fouling from a barrel, like when you've already used 10 patches and they're still coming out gray.

It can melt some plastics, though Glocks are safe. It's got Benzene in it, which is supposed to be a nasty cancer-causer (according to the State of California label on the product, even though I don't live in that state, thank you very much), so use it only in ventilated areas and do not breathe the vapors. One of it's primary features is that it evaporates almost instantly.
