Esee 6 :- How to strip coating off the blade.

This is how I simply & easily etch the logos, blue the logos and strip the coating off my Esee knives.

Great vid! One trick I picked up along the way is to remove the scales, put blue painter's tape on there, then put the scales back on. Trace the scales with an exacto knife, leaving tape only under the scales. Then remove the scales and apply your stripper. This way, you preserve the factory coating only under the scales, where moisture could accumulate. In my opinion, under the scales is the only place these knives need a coating.

If yall go to your local hardware store and look for "kleen strip" it comes in many forms, any will work. Coat your blade, leave for 15-20 min it'll take any coating right off, with no harm to the blade. Then you can use any condiment in your fridge to force a gorgeous patina. Gun blue is generally not recommended if your blade will be used to handle or process food

Nice explanation on your process. I also like the knife stripped. Thanks for sharing

"How to strip coating off the blade" -- 😂😂 I like the look of it after it's stripped. Well, while I think it's alright to strip the blade, I'd live the handle to itself, because after all the blade is always easily reachable, so you could take care of it the proper way. But if water got into the handle, there'd be rust.

I don't know if the paint stripper he was using sucks but the one I used worked much better. I advise anyone trying this to us an "old style" paint stripper, with Dichloromethane (DCM) as the active ingredient. I noticed there's a lot of "safer" DCM-free paint strippers on the market, and most reviews indicate they don't work as well. The one I used (Poly in Australia), worked much better than the video. The coating literally fell off in one piece like a glove after only 5 minutes! I didn't even need to use a scraper. DCM paint strippers are a bit more hazardous, but seem to work much better.

A well thought out process. Really seems like a great method. I’ve got 3 coated ESEE knives in need. I’ve got an RB3 factory uncoated knife that I’ve used for a number of years. Your process leaves the same patina which is great. Good video.

Looks far more handsome without the coating! Clever, too, how you managed to keep the makers logos, though I would have removed them.
