It has tannin, that converts rust to black magnetite and a polymer to seal it completely?

There is no way to de-rust examples like Bandook's katars without leaving only a foil-thin sliver of live steel.

I have shown here a 15-16th century bauernwehr preserved like that. That's how the surface looks like
That's a great technique of preservation Ariel,will check where I can source it in New Zealand,Many Thanks
