yet another question

[grepper]

Just thought of another idea. I didn't think of it right away because it's winter here. Use one of my favorite tools of all time, a power washer! Just blast it clean! Wrap the rest of the sword in plastic and then have at it. It won't remove varnish like carb cleaner but it will blast away any other crud.

If you don't have a power washer one of those you squirt 'em car wash places might work too.
