carbon steel sword
I\'m looking for recommendations for clearing rust off a carbon steel sword (chinese dao) that used daily in practice.
Sweat on the blade form regular handling is starting a rust buildup. I started cleaning off the rust with fine emery cloth (600) + WD40, but it\'s not effective. What to use for cleanup ? What to use and how often for protection ? David L.

Re: carbon steel sword
Is there any fine detail in this sword that may be lost if polished?
If not, a Spiral Sewn wheel and white buffing compound should make quick work of re-polishing. I haven\'t tried this on carbon steel, but Coca-Cola does a pretty good job if you just want to dissolve the rust.
