Am I just not patient enough with 0000 (or 000) wool? I find it almost never removes anything but the most superficial rust, but I'm not sure if I give it enough time. Am I supposed to keep going...

Luzon or Panay?

The overall style of this knife seems Luzon but lack of peen, chisel grind, and leather scabbard throat are all common Visayan features. Ferule is brass, guard is copper. OAL 16" with 12" blade.
