1. I first used painters tape to mask around the scratch so I could work and not worry about the surrounding areas. The scratch I was working on was right at the top most part of the knife, so I wrapped the surrounding areas.
2. I applied rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab to prep and clean the area.
3. I used an art-gum to gently remove oxidation from the scratch and brighten it up again. The instructions said use steel wool... I'd never. :p I've used art gums to gently clean electrical contacts on circuit boards in the past, and it did wonderful here.
4. I cleaned the area again with rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab and dried the surface well
5. I applied Aluminum Black... It did... a little something but not much. I had to fight with the surface to remain wet, so I gently just applied Aluminum Black from the pen tip over a 30 second period.
7. I rinsed the area with a wet cotton swab
8. The first application didn't do much. Nor did the second or third. Finally, around the fifth and sixth the area began to disappear.
9. I noticed there was some extra blackening around the area I was working on, run off from the pen. I cleaned the knife, rubbed the entire surface I was treating with my thumb, and buffed the color out.
10. The scratch was now almost completely gone. I decided to do another application, and then a final coat of Aluminum Black. This time I didn't worry about keeping the surface wet, I just let it sit for a minute, cleaned, buffed it with my thumb and repeated.
11. The surface was perfect. I mean perfect. I couldn't for the life of me find the scratch after that last application. I buffed the area a little more with my thumb and then cleaned it with a wet cotton swap.
12. I applied Rem Oil to the treated surface and let it soak in before buffing it dry.
I'm blown away. I've scrutinized the area under bright direct lighting, natural lighting, and artificial lighting and the surface looks flawless. I am relatively confident that it will remain that way too. I buffed it well with my thumb and it's not budging, and this makes this otherwise perfect knife completely perfect again. If someone has a Microtech or Marfione knife that is scratched and you want to get it back to black, I honestly cannot recommend this stuff enough. Made a real believer out of me and I'll definitely be keeping Aluminum Black in my drawer for future repairs. Top stuff!
One of the standout features of the Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black Touch-Up Pen is its user-friendly design. The pen-style applicator provides precise control and allows for easy application. The pen's compact size makes it portable and convenient to carry, ensuring you can quickly address any imperfections or blemishes on the go.
The touch-up pen contains a specialized black coating that matches the color of most aluminum surfaces. It effectively covers up scratches and wear marks, restoring the appearance of the treated area. The formula dries quickly, allowing you to complete the touch-up process efficiently without extended waiting times.
The Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black Touch-Up Pen offers good adhesion and durability. The coating adheres well to aluminum surfaces and provides a protective layer that helps prevent further damage or corrosion. It withstands normal handling and light use, maintaining its appearance over time.
The touch-up pen is versatile and can be used on various aluminum items such as firearms, automotive parts, and other accessories. However, it is important to note that it is specifically designed for aluminum surfaces and may not provide the same results on other materials. It is always recommended to test the product on a small, inconspicuous area before applying it to larger surfaces.
While the Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black Touch-Up Pen is effective for minor touch-ups, it may not completely conceal deep scratches or extensive damage. For more significant repairs, additional methods such as sanding, buffing, or professional refinishing may be required. It is important to set realistic expectations and understand the limitations of a touch-up pen for more severe cosmetic issues.
In summary, the Birchwood Casey Aluminum Black Touch-Up Pen offers a convenient and effective solution for touching up aluminum surfaces. Its user-friendly design, precise application, and quick-drying formula make it a handy tool for addressing minor scratches and blemishes. With good adhesion and durability, this touch-up pen provides a cost-effective method to maintain the appearance of your aluminum items.

ネジの頭などの補修に便利です。
が、ちょっとしか入ってないので、すぐになくなりました。
あと、ペン先は仕方ありませんが、なくなると同時に使えなくなりそうです。
これを参考に、COPICを購入して、同様の物を作成してみました。
Slightly disappointed but don't regret buying it. Better than nothing.
