Chrome On Philippine Blades Question
Hello everyone, I have run across more than one Philippine edged weapon lately which have had the blades chrome plaited and then remembered I had seen some older posts discussing this. One by Zelbone described the process as being "the vogue thing to do prior to WWII". This was from a statement he made about an item he had in the swap forum so I'm not sure if I can post a link without getting in hot water for doing it. I know that there were other discussions about this but I'm not having too much luck finding them. I would really like to hear what the experts have to say on this subject before I start removing chrome from something that I should just leave as is.
