After coming across a second wak that has been sadly abused, that is chrome plated i was wondering if anyone has ever peeled the plating back? I am guessing that the heat process destroys the blade but am unsure.Has anyone ever saved a blade after plating? and if so, how? Thanks Simon

I was just wondering when you look at the condition of a blade is there a minimum depth that the hamon can be before it is judged to be over polished? I have read of the core metal showing or the blade becoming to thin but not much about the hamon. Simon

I have just purchased a sword to which the previous owner had "removed all that nasty rust from the tang with special chemicals" I was wondering is there a way to darken the nakago,even a little? Is it ever done professionally? And finally does it really matter on an average blade valued at less than $ 1000? Interested to hear your comments Thanks Simon
