			P.S.: Try a search for electrolytic rust removal! 
		
		
		
		
		
		
		
	P.P.S.: Try to separate the habaki from the iron blade as soon as possible and process them separately afterwards...  |

	Thank's for your help ! I totaly agree with the restoration of a blade but some time I prefer to wait other view before making an irréversible mistake. No blade in my collection have rust.... this is just, I find, disrespectful for the Smith, the original owner, ans the blade itself. I've tried electrolytic removal when I was in high school   it work Nice ad not really tard tout realised.Interesting way for the kikuchi-yari ! Unfortunately I haven't this book.... But if you need other picts or measurement tell me it ! Best regards, Clement  |
