Anyways, here is the result; please advice if I can improve it, as its very low contrast atm. Or maybe thats how it is?

now, as far as I know, find some old engine oil, that you'll pass with a piece of material on the blade, remove the exceed
it's the advice that I got in Damascus, from my "furbisher",
but I never did it
very, very nice blade

all the best my Broth.
