Swords Set

What’s the best way to brighten Samurai swords?

I have a set of ornamental samurai swords. They are really beautiful, however, the blades are really dull. Could anyone tell me what is the best thing to use to brighten the blades?

Blade maintenance is very important to preserve the finish. The maintenance kit allows you to maintain your blade the same way as original pieces were (and are) maintained. Blade maintenance should be performed at least every three months and any time the blade is touched (skin oil will cause rapid corrosion of fine steels).

First, use a sheet of rice paper to remove oil from previous maintenance, holding the edge away from you and working very carefully to avoid injury. (a soft cotton cloth may also be used). Then tap the powder ball lightly against the blade every two inches or so along its length, dusting the blade very lightly with powder. Then use a clean piece of rice paper or cotton cloth to carefully rub over the powder to polish the blade. Repeat until both sides of the blade have been polished and the powder is removed. Be sure to guard against inhaling the powder.

Apply a 2-3 drops of oil along the length of each side of the blade and use a piece of rice paper or cotton cloth to spread the oil evenly over the blade. Be sure not to touch the blade again before re-sheathing.
