All said and done you probably want to polish that sword not plate.
Before you plate your gonna need to polish it anyhows, and I bet you once you've polished it right your not going to want to plate it.
Dont think plating is a way to get round polishing as a mirror finish plate needs a mirror finished part going in. I know stroking a sword with a plating wand sounds much easier than polishing but it aint gonna work out.
Now Im gussing here but I get the feeling plating will destroy the 'frosting' around the knife edge and the temper marks etc.
