This thread is what I really needed to read; I'm about to attempt my first blade restoration but I have a question before I begin. Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere... I couldn't find it though. I'll be sanding a Dorko and the blade is of the variety that has gold (I don't know what to call it- wash?inlay?) along with decorative etching/engraving. Should I be concerned about sanding this emblem? Do I need to go light on the area, or do I treat it like this thread describes (starting with 80 grit and end with 2000 grit)? Thanks for any help.
