Sooo. I removed my wisteria wrap on my kamisori, and look what I found under it! :cen
Wondering if I should get a metal polish for it, what do you gents think? :(

Well it wont get the pits out, but maas or flitz would take off the surface stuff. I would also coat it with renaissance wax before rewrapping as well, to help guard against future rusting.
I'm not planning on rewrapping it and leaving the handle naked.Quote:

metal polish, then rewrap or even better get one of those rubber blue kamisori handles
WD-40 would work too, no?Quote:

I'm glad I removed the wisteria wrap despite SRPers saying not to. Wish I didn't have to, though. Paranoia works best at times.;)Quote:

ok, just a suggestion off the top of my head. Even if you decide to leave it bare. An option would be the electrical shrink wrap (just a thought I had), it comes in different colors, cut it to length, and a cigarette lighter...carefully heat it and it conforms to the handle shape. It's also water resistant once shrunk. I know you said you wanted it bare, but I figured someone, or you as well, could consider this an option as well. WD-40 will also get the surface rust off, but you would really need 0000 steel wool or scouring (sorry for spelling) to help. Metal polish has ingredients to help remove it with just a rag, and MAAS and Flitz have a protective quality to them as well.
WD-40 is not abrasive, it may still work on it's own but you may have to use steel whools (as suggested below) or may be fine sand paper.Quote:

A wrap I would imagine could be even worse since its a form of cloth or fiber which can become moist and stay that way gradually letting moisture seep out onto the blade like a slow poison!!! 666 THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST!!!Quote:

I'll just leave the handle bare, so I don't have to constantly rewrap and wrap every few months.
Updated first post with pictures.
Deja vu. I remember describing this in the previous thread.
