Mauser question

[Cyclone82]

Does anyone know how the writing on the Mauser clip point blade is done and is it possible to remove it?

[MultiMat]

Not sure how it is done mate 

I have removed laser etching from a LM Pulse using cutting compound & a Dremel's polishing attachment.
I also just today removed a 'CHINA' from a crappy folder's blade, I am trying to make a bit flashy with some high grit wet n dry sand paper (1000 grit) polished up ok with the Dremel + Brasso.

I need to have a look how deep it is. it might come off off a scotch brite de-burring wheel or just some fine wet and dry. Its just that i need a clip point blade without that writing on it and i dont know where else i can get one other than from a Mauser.

SwissBianco had some custom 108's with that blade you want awhile back. Check with him.

I have a SwissFlame with a laser etched logo on the butane lighter implement, I'll give it a try with my Dremel and cutting compound... thanks MultiMat

Yeah already checked him and he said hes not allowed to sell just blades and doesn't have the time to make any of those 108's rigth now. He said he is extremely busy at least till several months time.

I do not want to be seen pushing one product over the other, but aluminum mag polish works on stainless blades and red plastic scales. I bought a small jar of this brand and I am still using it three years late. It is lot easier for me in a small town to find mag polish than some metal polish sold in a specialty store.

why do you wont to remove it ? i thought these where pretty rare these days with the walther being the harder to find due to lower amounts made 

[Cyclone82]

Because i want a clip point blade with no writing so i can replicate the 'Young Hunter' (clip point and corkscrew) If anyone has one to sell me by all means speak up and it may save a Mauser.

Have you considered reprofiling a spear blade into a clip?  Take a look here.

I tried to remove an electro-etched logo from a Promo knife once. I could see the lettering on the blade if held at a certain angle. You would have to remove more metal to get it entirely off.

i would go down that route and save the mauser

The SB clip points do not appear to be true Mauser blades...the nail nick seems to be in the same location as the standard blades.

Good idea but thats beyond me. I would want a professional to do that.

Thats not what i wanted to here. Can you post a photo for comparison?

[Spork, Lord of Lime Jello!]

The position of the clip-point blade nail nick is closer to the hinge than the spear point...they should not be even with each other.

It looks odd to me in the photo above...unless it is the angle of the camera.

I have now had a closer look at the Mauser. Im confident I can remove the writing no probs. It is no where near as deep as I thought.

Also on the re-profiling, the cutting edges are the same, that’s what I was not confident about although at some point in time im going to have to learn how to sharpen a SAK. The clip point is just a different shape on the the top edge. That I am capable of doing however there is the nail nick issue. It is further forward on the normal spear point blade so that kills that idea.

Upon closer inspection it almost looks like swiss B has used modified standard blades and turned them into clip points? Its hard to tell, im not convinced either way.

Can I please see a side on photo of a swiss bianco 3 blade 108mm

* late edit - After studing more photos im 95% sure he has not modified standard blades. I tried running a line through the top of the blade and you just cant get the same length of that angle cut without going though the nail nick.

It also appears that the swiss B specials have etched clip point blades unless this is just a web photo. Can anyone with swiss B specials confirm if they do have etched clip points? if they do i wont do this mod because it wont be a true one with out the etching.

I would still like some serated gutting blades though for something else, not sure who will be a donor for those. Maybe i can modify a non serated blade, but again i really wouldnt want a professional to do the serations, not much point doing it if it cant be replicated to 99.9% accuracy. It almost looks like you good do it with a chainsaw file though.

I wouldn't mind building a 108mm with every 108mm tool. That would be pretty cool and chunky. The 108's are great! saks.
