Good work, Sjors. Thanks to the different nature I am living, usually I clean such rusty blade in a very easy way. Just sink the blade with "coconut water" overnight or two -- not too long, then just brush it softly with very soft "tooth brush" and lime-juice mixed with a bit cream soap. Did you clean the hilt in the same way as the blade. I mean with vinegar too? (hilt in the later pics, is cleaner than the first)
