Think it is a jimpul. What is the difference in a jimpul and a langgai?

Thanks alot bill and other fellows for sharing this tip

Bill, do you have some picture of the mandau before using your tip

i would like to see comparation before and after rust removal.

Regarding the pienapple rust removal, we usually used the Pineapples/ Pineapples skin to remove hard rust. Just rubbed the rusted area with Pineapples skin couple of times until the rust fade away.

just my 2 cent

We are going to find out how good the pineapple method is this weekend.

I got this iklwa today and it has some serious rust issues.

So here are the before pictures.

I'll post the after later...

Good luck that spear has some serious scale

that needs removing you will need a wire brush to get that scale off first and then you can use the juice.

From what I can see in this thread. I think one has to try and differentiate between cleaning and etching. Is one cleaning to a parade standard or to achieve an aesthetic appearance of antiquity. Where the physical removal of rust is controlled by material, hand and eye/taste. The blades that look cleaned with acid or heavy chemical etching, are they really then the same as they were?

This is does depend on whether the original culture was in the habit of cleaning with acids.
