If you want to keep the logo & text, you can etch it. Leave the knife(minus scales) in a bath of ferric sulfate for a couple of days. Rinse & gently brush now and then. I did this on my Junglas.
I agree that the "tactical" is over rated on the civilian side, just as "technical" is over rated on the outdoor industry. Is just worst to appeal to a certain group of costumers.
But the only reason I like leaving the color in my knives, is that when they are all shinny like that, they remind me too much of a kitchen knife. I have a friend who is a chef, and I could get my knife confuse with his cooking knives. :D
i think Jeff (cutlerylover) mentioned in a polishing video that the flitz is toxic or at least not human friendly, and because of this it shouldn't be applied to knives with the intent of food prep. EDC, survival knives, battoning all that jazz sure go ahead. but i would be careful! awesome video and take care
Is Flitz Safe To Use On Surfaces In Contact With Food?
Yes, Flitz Polsih is completely non-toxic. It has USDA approval to use on surfaces in a food preparation area. Flitz can be safely used on serving pieces, such as silverware, without any danger. After polishing, just wash the piece in warm soapy water and dry off as usual. The Flitz will not leave any flavor or smell behind.
@jumpthemap Yeah, im not trustfully of the USDA, cause they can hide something we don't want to know. Asbestos was a danger from 50's to 80's and the USDA knew the effects of asbestos, yet the USDA didn't come out with a report until people started getting cancer.
Come on buddy!!!! More reviews!!! More vids!!!!!!!

does it look like there's a dark spot or oil stain where the logo used to be?

@nicknack171 While I like cutlerylover and his vids... he isn't always that accurate on his information.

Keep in mind that there are several grades of steel wool so if you want a higher polished finish you'll need finer steel wool. ;)

Awesome job polishing up those knives, brotha! They look great!
ESEE should make some knives up with highly polished blades like those, i think those would sell like crazy. Great video, thanks for uploading!
And btw, what kind of camera do you use? It has GREAT quality, and I'm looking into a new camera. Thank you!

So the steel wool doesn't cause there to be any scratches on the blade?
