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

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