Salaams,
I have a couple of Omani Old Kattara blades that I think are watered steel but are either rusted and or pitted so I cant see clearly a pattern. What is the cleaning and polishing sequence needed to restore the blades please? I have had some success with lemon salt in removing rust but what are the next stages?
