It looks great, but can you give us any more details? How was it done?

I rubbed the blade down with an old sanding pad which was wet with Militec-1 oil. It was easy to remove the coating.
However, the thumb studs were very difficult to remove because BM seem to have used red loctite on the threads of this knife.

So, I'm gathering that removing the BK coating does not remove the etching of the name of the designer or limited edition #'s?
At least from what I can make out in your photo.

This makes it looks real good. I am with you I thought coating removal would take it all off. This looks just...too...sweeeet!

From the ones I have done, you need to be careful if you are trying to save the writing. If you get too aggressive, the writing gets really light or disappears.

Did you all see Eddie Murphy's " Coming To America"
He tells a joke at the end of it as an old jewish white guy.
Say," Guy sits down at a resturant orders a bowle of soup. Calls the waiter back over. "Hey waiter!
Yes Sir?
Taste my soup.
Why sir? Does it tast funny?
T A S T E my soup
Is it to Hot? or is there something in it?
T A S T E MY SOUP

That is correct.
