Need advice,How to remove scratches

[Lord vader]

I have a ss delica that has some light surface scratches on the handle,any advice on how i can get these scratches removed?

[WhiteWillie]

Other than some light sanding, ???

I've used fine (1500) sandpaper to sand it following the grind line, but if it's deep enough to catch fingernail then it won't work.

Sounds like good advise.

I use the green 3M Scotchbrite pads and they work really well on light scratches like from rubbing against keys and such. I learned that at the SFO from Gail.

Are those the pads that are about a 1/4" thick and made of an abrasive type plastic?

ChapmanPreferred,I found some of those pads at walmart,and when i got home i started using it and it took the scratches right off,it totally restored the knife to almost factory condition.Thank you for that great advice.

Why would you want to remove the scratches? They are what makes an SS knife pretty.

In that case I have a 40 Grit sandpaper that you can borrow, should do the trick :P
