When I said who cares if you grind off a bit of paint while finishing the handle I didn't mean for you to leave the bare metal. Get a little paint brush and refinish the tang after the handle is done. That's what I did with Moly-Kote. If the handle is something that can handle the heat like Micarta or G-10 I even baked the knife after painting the tang although that isn't really necessary. Just tape off the tang and paint it...
