indian rusty kattar, work in progress

[francantolin]

Hello everybody,
I finally received my kattar dagger,
it was all rusty,
I started to gently remove rust with vinegar,
for the blade ist's ok and nice pattern under the rust !!!

for the hilt-guard not really ... I have to try something else...
or will you leave it like that ??

What do you think ?

Kind regards
