paint

Post by losthelm »

was gifted with a knife a pennsic. the handle paint was starting to come off trying to remove the rest and repaint.
took a wire brush to get a lot of the paint off but some is still sticking in the hard to reach places.
wire brush is starting to mar the handle
so looking for a alternative
also what should I use to paint it?
I think its aluminum handle with a 440 stainless blade.

How about some chemical paint remover?
Epoxy paint would be a good long wearing choice.
