What is your preference for knife blades shipped with lacquer coatings? I know some say it needs to be removed straight away and others say just to let it wear off. This is something I've never had to deal with before but there's some offerings I like that are coated.
For those who remove it, how do you do so? Lacquer thinner with the handle well protected?
Does the removal process itself pose any risk to kurochi finishes? Not meaning exposing the finish over time but the specific act of removing the lacquer through whatever means.
As always, thanks in advance.
