Warangan treatment of an old Javanese blade?

[mariusgmioc]

Excellent result!

Periodic cleaning and etching of the blade is part of the traditional maintenance process the same way it is oiling.

So, if the pamor is washed out due to too many cycles of oiling and cleaning or for any other reason, it should be brought back. This is part of the normal maintenance of the kris.

Hi Detlef, and thank you for the suggestion! Will do!
