I just picked up a vintage Cold Steel Trail master. Along the way some loon decided to paint the blade "tactical" black. What's the best way to remove said paint without scratching or otherwise harming the blade?
Thanks!
If you really want a really dressy knife for under $100 check out Deejo knives website. Even if you don't buy one it's fun to build your own personalized knife just to see how it looks.

Try this one. No pocket clip but so light and thin you hardly know you've got it.
Finally decided to put the "old" 110 in the safe until my grandson is old enough for it. Replaced it with my "new" 80's vintage. Kept the same sheath though. Same knife all-day everyday.
Take a look at this one. Super light.

I carry no fewer than 5 knives daily. From a Kabar TDI to a bladed multi-tool and each with specific job function. A knife intended for personal defense should never be dulled peeling fruit or opening boxes.
