Thank you. It sounds like there's no way to aggressively remove the rust without damaging the koftgari. I'll just have to settle for stabilizing the active rust and then leave it be.

Out of curiosity, what's the current status of the khanjar in Syria? I've seen a lot of weird modern looking touresty khanjars up for auction out of there recently. Do the locals still wear them or do they only produce them for tourists?
