Another of My Kerises

Personally i use pineapple juice because it is less aggressive than lemon or lime acid. With this blade, less aggressive might be a good idea.

I figured it required warangan. Arsenic is something I have no access to, and using it is not something I would attempt.

I will attempt a soaking in pineapple juice as David suggests.

I really appreciate all the feedback, thank you all!

Hi Dan, I use to clean my blades with diluted vinegar -- not a traditional method, I know. But for me it works very fine for many years ...

How much do you dilute it?

I usually use 1 l water and 4 dl vinegar, so the solution is not too aggressive.

Well, I read many posts on this forum regarding pineapple juice and saw for myself the great results from kerises soaked in it. So, right now, I have two of my kerises (one of which is the blade this thread features) soaking in pineapple juice. I will monitor closely and post pictures of the results when they are ready.
