For all the experienced steel men out there, I wondered if there was a simple product or method I could use to remove stains from the blade of a knife.
It's a basic 3/4" x 5.5" blade antler handle hunting knife with what appears to be a stainless steel blade (flat gray color) that I bought as a young man back in the 60's, and still have it. It was a decent knife bought in a local sporting goods store, but nothing compared to high quality knife standards today.
Retired it years and years ago and it lays in the back of a drawer, clean and[url] dry...in[/url] studying it recently trying to figure out something to use it for, I wondered if there's some way to remove some faint stains / slightly darker areas in places on the blade that it acquired in it's lifetime...won't come off with steel wool...it's not rust, just a few small, slightly darker areas, streaks, etc.
Is there any chemical or something that might do the job?
