I highly recommend using bench grinder with a 8" stone wheel. It takes the blue right off.
Oh ok, was going with my angle grinder with a wire wheel. Good tip.

I have done it on regular blades but not my Damascus to avoid damaging them. I have sent all of my Damascus in for a thumb stud swap.I have blue studs on a Devin Thomas damascus Sebenza, would Flitz possibly ruin the etching on the blade?
You can send it back to CRK to replace the stud to plain / silver. Cost you about $50. I believe $17-$18 of the $50 is for return shipping / Insurance. Option for you if your concern about ruining the finish on the blade.I have blue studs on a Devin Thomas damascus Sebenza, would Flitz possibly ruin the etching on the blade?
