Rust on Super Blue?

[Holland]

my caly3.5 and caly3 have not developed any rust. and all I do is run it under water then wipe it dry after use. But I also live in calgary and its super dry here.

Hi Ken,

You would have to get a burnishing rod or burnishing tool that's harder than superblue. You can generally even use the rounded-off back end of a boride drill bit to burnish steels. Burnishing is generally how you shine the fullers on japanese styled large blades.

Thank you, Sir. I'll look around and see what I can come up with. I'll let you know.

The Japanese call them migaki-bo. you can find them at high-end japanese polishing suppliers. http://ryujinswords.com/polishingequpt.htm

As I said before, it is easier to use ultrahard drill bits that are well-rounded instead of a 200 dollar needle.

Woodcraft used to (and maybe still does) sell burnishing rods for sharpening blades.
