So I have gotten a TTi but there is a name that is laser etched on it. Any ideas on how to remove it?
There is no problem that cannot be solved by the use of high explosives.

It's so ugly when one Scandinavian country disses another... :ahhh :ahhh

Maybe you could open and close the file a few times and scrape it off. :D


Seriously, I don't know but I would guess a coarse to fine progression of polishing compounds would be required.

I don't look like an Ulf so that's out of the question.

The best would be if I just got a new scale.

Have you tried asking Leatherman or their local reps? Perhaps they could swap that scale for a pristine one. :-\

The local rep in Norway is a huge colorful enunciation and I don’t want to deal with him, probably why I don’t buy LM in Norway.

Have you tried metal polish I know they have some abrasive but you have to rub it for a long long while.
Multitools are the best thing that happened to mankind since the invention of the wheel!
