Polish

Did you know that normal toothpaste can be used cleaning the stainless steel on Swiss Army Knives? Toothpaste is very good for polishing the stainless steel so it becomes very shiny momentarily. There are substances in it that brings out the mirror polished surface. This you can test with using some paste on the finger and some water. Use the finger to distribute the paste and rinse afterwards. It is pretty cool. The paste does not have to be types with extra abrasive substances. Just normal does the trick very well. It is not necessary to buy expensive polishing materials and cloths for SAKs. It does not remove scratches, for such you can use leather. Deep scratches require extra work with some very fine surface sand-paper or similar materials.

You can also do a test if the stainless steel surface is not looking shiny to use some paste and distribute it with the finger completely dry. Use the finger tip skin and polish and the result of this is that you can see the paste becoming darker. Then rinse everything of.
