Rubbed for a minute. Doesn’t seem to do much…do I soak it?

If you have a tall-enough container, you can boil the acetone. Best done outdoors!

I’d try the strongest paint stripper you have available.

Strong alkali is another option. It does not harm steel, even with longer exposure. Wanna mask the handle off thoroughly in either instance.

For me anything that came off with acetone tended to come off quite easily. So if it doesn't come off wth just some mild scrubbing with a paper towel I guess you have ink that doesn't dissolve in acetone.
 
Will give it a try this weekend. I want to send it to JKI to get spine and choil rounded. You guys think they can easily remove the ink?
I'd think so, but can't make any promises.

It should buff out....er, off...
