Shazaam !
A really old post comes back !
( I was looking for informations about etching blades on kattar daggers and found this post ... )
I have an old all rusty kattar with perhaps wootz/damas blade and with little gold koftgari remains on the handle.
I wonder if an vinegar-acetic acid bath will destroy the koftgari...
Any advice for clean it in the best way ?
Thank you
