Tombak Opinions Wanted

[Tim Simmons]

This does have a scabbard with a thin slice of turtle on the outside. I have shown it in the past.

I have the tombak set up like this, in the opening of a pot. It has been like this for about 4 hours, I think something is happening I can smell it. Every now and again I move the blade in and out of the lemon to keep the juice wet. How long should I keep this up, days?
