midnight 657 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 Try a really mild acid Steve to neutralise the salt or alkaline on the steel . Loads and loads of silicone oil to ?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
air gun ant 1,666 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 ive just been given a ww2 machete and was thinking of cleaning it up on the wire wheel at work and sharpening it again, but thought it would knock the value down. are they actually worth owt anyway? my thinking is i can either sell it or get it in to something i can use...

midnight 657 Posted November 25, 2014 Report Share Posted November 25, 2014 I don't think they have any value . No more than a new mass produced one any way . I'm never that impressed with British ww2 kit ( like the poor sods that depended on them weren't ) have some fun with it I say , clean them up grind them up and get them working . Have you both got pics of them ? I'd like to see them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
