Thanks Alan, for taking to time to directly address the blade at hand. I also agree that this is probably not a blade that needs new warangan. I don't believe this blade has a high contrast pamor and the stain looks fairly good as is. But everything you mention will indeed make the existing stain look better without resorting to a full wash that would remove the original warangan.
One question i have. Will the final wash with dish detergent eliminate all the acids brought to the blade with the limes, or would it still be wise to use a slurry of baking soda to neutralize these acids?
