| Not quite fencing I've got two swords that are giving me trouble. One is an un-sharpened showpiece, with a chromed blade. Some kind of black stuff is starting to develop on it; not sure if it's tarnish, or what. The other is a regular shortsword, Pakistani stainless steel. It's starting to get a touch of rust on the edge, and the blade itself is pretty cloudy. Any ideas how I can take care of these two?
