Very recently a kris slipped into my collection with also a very ugly blade to look at. There was some kind of brown varnish on the blade. But after some cleaning, and a very light etch, a beautiful blade came forward.
It is not such nice blade as yours turn out to be after cleaning, no doubt about that, but I was very surprised and like the result!
I attached some images before and after cleaning!
