Not being the best photographer in the world, these are the best that I can manage since I broke my wide angle lens recently.
You can see the blade gets darker where I have not done any cleaning.
Hope they are of some help
regards
Roy

I wouldn't clean it, just oil.

May I ask why? Also when you don't want to polish and etch the blade and prefer a blade with old patina is the careful cleaning Royston has given the blade (so far I can see) will bring out only the beauty from this blade and will prevent corrosion.
