How do I clean out Stamped Kanji?

[Tler]

I recently purchased this and didn't realize it was a project knife (I was too eager on the good price). Anyway, now that I have it, does anybody have any tips on how to clean out this kanji?

Maybe use toothpicks and stone powder?

Just a brush and soap, done it before

a toothbrush will work? or a wire brush?

Start with a plastic brush that won't scratch or discolor the iron and steel back. Like a household scrub or bathroom brush, but yeah if you have a toothbrush you can try that but it mightnnot be stiff enough. By soap I meant soapy water, too

If soap doesn't work, try using a paste made from baking soda and lemon juice.
