Two Kerises, one possibly beyond repair?

Thanks for the info! That first keris is much too small for actual use so I'm not surprised it was designed for ceremonial use or a wallhanger for tourists. I still like it even if it's a bottom shelf keris. I bought these to just "dip my toes" in kerises, I'll definitely be more careful when I get out of the $40-$50 range.

I'll soak the second blade in coconut milk to see how it cleans up. If that doesn't get me anywhere I'll move up to citric acid.
