Thank you all for your very kind words. I am sorry for not posting this earlier but I've had a lot going on lately and completely forgot to reply to my own post. Please excuse my unintentional bad manors. :o

Especially if it is green oxidation, it is easy to clean to "new" copper and brass, but it also easy to make old with specific products.And you don't need a long time to have a soft matt, unpolished patina, which is better,for me , than a bad green.
Hi Luc
I know, after argued about this topic, it's not the course of action for everyone
I share absolutely your position, according with my understanding;
- dirt, old oil, rust
aren't "patina", and weapons have to be maintained in good shape,
as well as "Sajen" did it, with his beautiful old Yakoma knife
not necessary to get the blade "white", but clean, that's it :p

"Sagen" very good job, your knife it's amazing ;)

Hi Dom,

Ok, since we are doing necromancy on this one, let me tell you that the reptile skin on the hilt is that of a small crocodile. :)

Very funky sword Robert and great restoration work you've done on it!


All the best, - Thor
