I'd also suggest to soak it an pineapple juice. and immediately clean the iron. take another pictures and show it to us. it shows a healthy shape to me, but I have a guess that the pesi( lower part of the spear) is been cut, or maybe its just my oppinion. let us see the lower part after you clean it.
I'm waiting....
