Blade Polishing Tips?

Post by **natcherly** » Fri May 14, 2004 6:12 am

I have some stilettos that show slight scratches on the blade, mostly from rubbing against the liners during opening/closing. Is there a way to polish these out? Don't want to ruin the rest of the blade doing it though. Also don't want to hurt the value in the event I want to sell or trade them.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Find a piece of stiff leather-an old belt or similar. Impregnate the rough side with Simichrome, Mother's polish, or similar. Let it dry. Then use this "lap" lengthwise to polish the flat of the blade.

Muchas Gracias Bill. That solution sounds like a real winner.

Sure! Works well on jewelry, too.
You can also use jeweler's rouge on it.

Bill,

Thanks for the great tip. I think that I can actually do it. Please understand that due to some elective surgery a decade or so ago, my ability to impregnate has been greatly diminished

Well, then you can just wipe it on!

What are the odds that will impregnate anything

You have to rub it in real good!
