I guess this is technically a question about a Scrapyard knife but I'm pretty sure busse also uses the wrinkle/crinkle coat on some blades so I figured the guys here would know best.

I recently got myself a Scrapyard Yard Guard here on the exchange (and i love it) but I've been using it a lot since I got it. I chopped wood, cardboard, vines and saplings, even some plastic. But all these materials tend to get little fibrous leftovers (especially on cardboard and wood) in the crinkle coating and I can't seem to get it out. Any thoughts on how to do this?

It doesn't really matter, i just wanted to see if after all that the knife could still look like new.

the thing about the crinkle coat is that it will smooth out with use, so unless you sent it back in for a recoat it won't ever look entirely new again. if you run a green scrubbie pad over it a little bit it'll help smooth the coat a little and you won't get as much debris adhering to the coating, plus get the old stuff off. eventually, though, it will wear all the way through, especially with hard use, and expose the metal underneath, so the best thing you can do is cultivate an appreciation for the aesthetics of a well worn knife.
 
I've only had my CGDF for a little over two weeks. It hasn't been used much (2 fishing trips and some back yard fun) but has been used hard.
The crinkle coat is wearing A LOT!!
I like the battle scars!!!
