Sporkkaji Posted July 5, 2010 Author Report Posted July 5, 2010 Exactly, I would MUCH rather have an unmolested blade with a faint hamon than one where it has been artificially enhanced. pcfarrar said: It can cause serious damage as the acid gets into the core and begins to destroy it from the inside out. Is there anything that can be done to neutralize this effect without causing damage itself? Something along the lines of soaking the blade in a baking soda solution maybe? Quote
pcfarrar Posted July 5, 2010 Report Posted July 5, 2010 Keep it oiled and get it to a polisher at some point. If you plan to keep it a pair of dragon menuki, horn kashira and a new tsukamaki job would make your koshirae quite presentable and shouldn't cost the earth. Quote
