So the age old question, save the etching or sand the blade... I do a combo of both to save as much etching as possible
So this is the blade rust stripes on front and back and lots of pivot wear (I covered cleaning this in another post)
thought those rust stripes would go away after a lite polishing... Well they didn't...
So first step is mask off the etching with electrical tape, really sticky and won't budge too easily
Actually forgot to take a pic of the masking so I did this post cleanup:
Rub the masking to ensure a good bond
Then follow gamma's thread "you don't have to be a pro" being careful around the edges of the tape....

Pay attention in the thread when he talks about blade polishing with Emory and white compound
My then flip back to my pivot clean up thread and do the final polish on a mini buffer... The soft cotton wheel won't peel up the electrical tape but check periodically to be sure
