A good hada is usually accompanied by a good yakiba (hamon). It may not be flashy, but it will be good. :D

 

you are right, that's why i was saying it's too bad he treat them like that. Better leave them alone...

Exactly, I would MUCH rather have an unmolested blade with a faint hamon than one where it has been artificially enhanced.

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?

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.
