Citric soak

Thanks Giovanni.

If it also removes the rust that is underneath the gold, then that would trouble me, because with old kinatah it is only the rust that is holding the kinatah in place. With kinatah we need to remove the surrounding rust and not disturb what is under the kinatah.

I do think this electric method might be better for a plain steel blade though.
