Hello all, I bought my first keris today after having collected Talibon for a whole, but my keris has some problems. Firstly the scabbard is cracked along the side and the wide opening part is wobbles quite a bit, and may fall off at any time.

The blade itself looks okay but im very worried with the amount of red rust present on the blade.

I have read up on the various ritual cleaning techniques of the keris, but how do I properly clean the keris from this red rust in order to preserve the blade?

Thanks guys,

Will

Ps: If anybody has any info on this keris I would be fascinated to hear about it.
