Would welcome any feedback

Salaams templarnight ~ Good work. Nice pictures. Please detail the procedure that you followed ~ ie vinegar or fruit juice or acid and how long did it soak etc... and how did you clean the blade after?...did you use 00 paper?... as Alex was saying... and what did you use to preserve the blade after?... such as sewing machine oil or preservation wax?...Thus forum library takes a step closer to perfection.
