Salaams,
I dont have much in the way of watered steel blades but I am very interested in knowing the workshop technique for bringing up cleaning and restoring old wootz blades. What is the method for doing this and what does the term "bringing into polish" entail? I have two ancient Omani Blades which could be wootz and I would like to give one a try with whatever technique is suggested. Any ideas?
Regards Ibrahiim al Balooshi.
My workshops use hand tools only and are experienced in the old fashioned skills of hilt and blade work up to Koftgari etc ~ Wootz we don't know much about. We learn fast however !
