Hello,

the starapple fruit is crushed. only the juice is collected (use a strainer to weed out the seeds,etc- as this may affect the blade).

submerge the entire blade (1-2 hours). This is done under the heat of the sun.

after 1-2 hours- wipe the blade with some textile material (preferably denim).

Put on light oil (animal oil is best: snake, etc).

According to my source, in the olden days, a blade owner does this to his blade on a weekly basis.

As a result-in the end, your blade would show its laminations and the color of the blade turns 'greenish-yellowish.'
