1. Try some nail polish remover.
2. Paint thinner will take it off pretty easily, you can also try rubbing alcohol or even stridex pads.
3. Try heating the blade over a source of heat, like a fire or lighter, and melt it off.
4. My husband agrees with me that nail polish remover will do the trick. I forgot, he also says there is a "super-glue remover" product.
5. Heating will not melt the super glue very much, a solvent is needed. You may have vodka or something like that around the house? Of course rubbing alcohol and any other solvent will do, but most people have some liquor about and this will work fine. Just stick the blade in a jar of it overnight or something and the superglue will rub off. It should not affect the Teflon if you are worried about that it should not dissolve in alcohol. I used solvent in this way with metal picture frames that had been super-glued when I was a picture framer, no joke.
