I am afraid I do not know the answer to that as I am unfamiliar with that method. I would guess the overall goal would dictate what path to take. If it is simply to remove the chrome plating and nothing else then your suggestion could be an additional method. If the overall goal is to remove the chrome plating to reveal the metalurgical details of the blade which are better enhanced through a polish and etch, then I would recommend a professional restorer, which from my experience, would polish off the chrome plating via coarse stones.
