Looks like you have done well so far, Paolo. You could also try Coca-cola (yes the drink) because it has phosperous in it which works on blades of Persian origin. It is possible however that this the blade is of Turkish origin, and if so, that would mean that the wootz would be subtle anyway and not "pop" out like on Perisian pieces. If the Coke thing does not work, then leave it alone since you can do nothing more and it is Turkish wootz.

Mabuting Kapilaran!
