What would happen if...

[MdBlades]

I put my kershaw Vapor in my brass tumbler to clean it up a bit, would it remove the dullish coating.

 

[James Muehlner]

That's not a coating, that's beadblast. It is small little valleys in the steel, so unless your brass tumbler will polish it, it won't change.

 

[MdBlades]

But it will get the dirt out of the crevices between the handles then?

You can remove the beadblast finish easily with a Scotchbrite abrasive pad or even some fine sandpaper. It comes off rather easily.

The space between the handles can be cleaned out with a Q tip or some similar item no problem.

I would be hestiant to put the knife in a tumbler of any sort, as even a smll amount of damage to the pivot or locking area could screw it up rather easily.

Not really a tumbler as in goes round and round, but its a brass cleaner, it vibrates to get the brass clean. Its a vibratory case cleaner.
