    Only by sanding or grinding it out. It is “in” the metal.

    yes you can but it takes a lot of sanding with fine grit sanding paper, then when you have all the engraving removed you will need to speed polish it on a buffer, most polishing shops will do ti for a small fee but unless you really want to keep this it is a bit of work.

    yes, by mechanical or chemical methods. it depends on the surface of the steel and how much steel you need to remove and the tools that you’ve.
