CMJeepster 2,766 Posted July 12, 2022 I've not owned a black oxide coated steel blade before, so I don't know how to safely remove the packaging tape residue that has built up on it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. TIA! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. TIA! Whatever it is it should be fairly resistant to most cleaners. Start gentle with soap and water then relube. You can also just jump to any oil and see if that does it. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
