Or, you could just soak it in motor oil or wd40 for a week and just clean it up the best you can from there and leave it rustic [ my choice ].



My two lousy cents is leave it rustic too. All that "accumulation" is part of the history of that bayonet and where it has been. I couldn't bring myself to wash all that off, down the drain.

Damn, am I becoming a romantic?

Political Correctness is a doctrine, recently fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and promoted by a sick mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end!
