" Schmoozer's steel wool:- doesn't matter what he uses, he can use a scotchbrite pad if he likes, the objective of the exercise is to remove any possible adhesions from the stainless steel that might be on the blade, I said 00 steel wool because its easier to get than 0000 and a damn sight cheaper, 0000 is essentially for polishing, there's buggerall cut in it. You know, people tend to be too bloody cautious with keris blades---00 steel wool has bigger strands and they're easier to see if any get caught by the metal grain. "
