Decided to strip the DSF I tried to sell a week ago. (Stupid car trouble)...

I used Citri-Strip and waited 24 hours and then a razor blade to remove the coating, Came off like butter.



I think it looks a lot like competition



Very pointy and shiny


DSF next to M9le


 
Nice and clean, M9 looks great too.

edit to add: hold on, stripping is that easy? From what Ive seen it takes more work than that, if all it takes is a 24 hour strip dip and a spatula, Im stripping half my coated blades asap.
 
I used a razor blade not a spatula :) but yes this one was that easy, other knives I've had to go over with 600 grit sandpaper when I was done.
 
Yes, some are easy but others aren't. I think the finish underneath is a big part of it. However, my sage BGBJ had a great finish underneath and was still my hardest to strip.
