I would follow Victorinox recommendation:
Well, this is a Wenger Esquire nail file and I wanted to show the before and after on it. Before photos show the general crud you find stuck onto a nail file of this sort(etched or sandblasted type). I used a small steel wire bristle brush and brushed it lengthwise for 5-10 seconds until the stuff came off. After photos are self explanatory.Before with flash on-(Image removed from quote.)Before with no Flash-(Image removed from quote.)After with no flash-(Image removed from quote.)After with flash on-(Image removed from quote.)The flash can make a real difference in seeing the close up details so I included both.
Nice restore stressmaster! Got any tips to rejuvenate seized up scissors (modern riveted style)? I've soaked and scrubbed with everything in my bag of tricks, and I've tried to floss out any debris, but they still wont spring open nicely. The older style scissors are a piece of cake to restore, I take them apart and clean/buff and reassemble.

BTW - Here is the link to my photo album for those photos. I posted smaller size, and some may want a better look at them.https://picasaweb.google.com/113972130751178685410/SAKKnifeCleaningAndTools?authuser=0&feat=directlink
