sorry if this questions was already asked but I've got a new knife coming next week its a Sakai Yusuke Special Thin White #2 240 Gyuto (reviews and pics will follow in a separate post). The blade will be covered with a thin lacquer that I want to remove. I know some like to keep it there but I want to remove it. In the past i've used 90% alcohol and rubbed the hell out of it with a soft cloth.
1.) It took a while to remove the lacquer entirely
2.) Unfortunately this knife will not have an etched kanji it's printed. I'd like to preserve as much of the screens darkness as possible. Alcohol really faded it my last one really bad.
3.) I don't want to leave lacquer on just the kanji. thats not sustainable.
Folks on this forum buy a lot of knives, what do you do to remove it? TKS
