I think that is a great idea. It should be one that covers all the basics and i will have to look through what we have and see what works best. Though it might be easier to repeat what has been said in the past and fill this thread up with all the answers to Shadejoy's question to make the most useful single thread on the subject for making into a sticky. Even if this thread just gets filled with links to past threads on the subject it will still put all the information in one place for sticky placement.
Keep in mine that Shadejoy's question was about more than just cleaning/etching blades. He asked about maintenance of the entire keris, including hilt, wrongko and fittings.
