Thank you Jean.

That's why I included the shot of the tip. As the blade soaked, this detail became more apparent and interesting. That metal appears more porous and is no where else on the blade...

Another Before and After

This is one of my first two kerises. The blade was in horrendous shape and I recently decided to see what pineapple juice would do with it. It took a bit over two weeks and I decided to take it out...
