I have a reasonable collection of swords and they all have required next to no maintinence. All except for my gladius. It has a wooden hilt and just a plain steel blade. It tarnishes like nothing I've ever seen before. I made the mistake of assuming it was stainless without looking and now it has blackish tarnishes wherever a finger hath come into contact with it. This dissapoints me greatly, no the sword alone but the idea that I have neglected it so. Any good methods to remove the tarnishes and the rust that seems to be integrated into the sword? I have gun cleaning supplies and have just coated the blade in vaseline to stave off any further damage. Any good tricks? thanks for your time and concern.
