Thank you Robert,
yes, the front side look now much better but it was a hard job by hand only, now I'll work at the back side, it will need some time! ![]() ![]() And I agree with you, some good old blades get hard abused and it need work and endurance to let look them good again. Best regards, Detlef |

The back side is polished as well, here a comparison before and after. Will post pictures from the complete knife when it is etched.

I saw this knife about a month ago.Coincidentally I am pleased to know the previous owner.I'm sure that Niels did not sharpen the knife and the condition was such.

can you explain your statement a little bit more? Which previous owner do you mean? I've bought this knife from a Danish ebay seller named klientjagt, is this Niels? When I received the knife it was in such poor condition with all the scratches on the blade and it was not sharpened but with a very dull edge. I suppose that a previous owner tried to clean the blade very unprofessional. Regards, Detlef |

Hi Detlef,
Good job! A final grit of around 1000 should be enough plus a finish with the red japanese rust eraser (kc91 or so). I'm interested to see the result of the staining. But this sword was never intended to be a pattern welded eye-candy. So it will be pretty difficult to make a contrastful finish. Roland |

Here the finished work, the blade is polished and etched with lemon juice. Excuse the picture quality, it's rather dark here in Germany.
![]() Rolands and mine assumption was correct, the blade show only a hardened edge but not a contrast lamination. |
