much obliged, I an only fullhearted support this. Found some pics of mine 3/4 cleaned in the way Jose described .
FYI: mine were in exact the same condition as the above uncleaned one ( both bone handle as metal part).
You can compare the above uncleaned one ( first pic below) with my 3/4 cleanded ones and see for yourself...both bone as metal looks better
