Deanodize my BM51

I just deanodized my BM51liners to raw titanium silver. I used Grease Lighting and EZ Off, but none of them worked, so I just take my Chrome Polisher Rust Stain Remover and rub the anodize off my knife. Took me like 2 hrs to finish everything. Not what I expected, but good enough and I'm happy with it :mrgreen: . Also during the process, I lost one of the washer, any suggestion of what are the washers BM use on the BM51? Here are some pic :TU:

Hope you guys enjoy it :woot: :woot: :woot: :woot:
I'm also looking for feedback so I can do it better next time :respect:

Nice. I just used sandpaper on mine. I tried one chemical to etch the ano away... but it didn't work and I got impatient. No more swirlies on mine, but "Benchmade" is still on the clip. I thought I'd like the blue, but after I got it I decided it was too hard to see when flipping. I like the naked metal look better anyway. Well done.

I did use sandpaper at the part where there are no swirls. And the naked metal look definitely better :mrgreen:

I think it looks awesome, if I ever pick up a 51 I am definitely doing the same thing.
