Thread: Best way to clean jimping on the tang

Depends on the jimps... and how badly they are rusted and how good you want the result. If they need more than wire brushing and/or a little scraping I generally use a file which matches the geometry of the jimp... most commonly that's a triangular micro-file. I like the diamond coated ones as they last longer.

I prefer something in the 1.5" size and the 2" is the closest thing to it, that I'm aware of, but you'd need a Foredom to mount those suckers. 6/8 seems a bit small to me, but if it gives an even finish, I'll order'em up from smallparts asap.

I agree with Joe and 1adaam12, those little bristle wheels are the way to go.
