You would need blade oil and a VERY soft cloth so the paint doesnt get removed any worse

I haven't cleaned mine. It appears a bit cloudy from the water. CLR would clean it but rinse it well to avoid chemicals back into your plants. Maybe try sea salt a bs a little water or something slightly crunchy to get an abrasive non-harmful cleanser?

the sword has a full tang. There is a small nut at the end of the handle that you can unscrew to remove the handle. there are brass rings between the wood handle pieces. I think the wood is Mahogany. Duane....

It is stain"less" steel, sooo there may be something out there some where that will make it oxidize or stain the blade. As with most tools, clean it properly when needed, and it should last you a long time.

Try scrubbing it with salt. Maybe even boric acid powder. Never use soap of any kind.

Yes!! After about a year of use. I've tried scrubbing it clean, but it still has black discoloration. Any ideas about how to resolve this?

Robert, are you talking about the area that is silver (the sharpened area)? Because I looked at mine closely just now and what I didn't notice when I first got it was that on mine the silver part seems to have a clear coating on it. I'm not sure of what, but it seems like tiny bubbles or debris in the clear coating. The black metal part of mine has one or two tiny pits but thats about it. Maybe contact the seller and swap it out?

No stains here, mate. I wonder what you are seeing that won't come off with a bit of elbow grease or a touch of bleach. Maybe you are seeing rust or something elsewise that isn't normal fare.

Mine aren't dirty enough to warrant a cleaning. Suggest send it back to manufacturer or buy a new one (doubt they take trade-ins, eh...)

Did you use a cooking spray on it before you used it. That's not good. It can cause stains that are very difficult to remove and clean. A scouring pad should do the job with some soap. Barkeep's Friend should certainly help. If all fails use an SOS pad.

Clean it well and then store with a slight film of oil to prevent the rust. Should be just fine, this is common. bone appetit

I have a 20+ year pizza stone that is now dark brown. Don't try to clean it, just let it happen. It develops a wonderful non-stick surface with age. All I do is scrape whatever will come off with a nylon scraper under very hot water.

I'm not exactly sure... You definitely want to clean the blade. There are no more than enough sword cleaning kits available on Amazon. I bought one at the same time that I bought this sort. It's in a wooden box with congee written on the front. I can't remember the seller or the name of The seller, or the name of the product, but it was a damn good investment and it only costs about $13 per kit. I suggest doing your research on cleaning katana before you purchase this one.

remove the small screws on the back and snap that piece off; you can then clean the blade

You should buy a cleaning kit and watch the video on YouTube on how to clean it. Very informative! The cleaning kit should be around $12 through Amazon. Good luck! And yes keep it oily all the time (perhaps not as much as came in the box) and try to keep your fingers off the blade.

Clean it with vinegar and water and it should clean pretty well. Hope this helps:):):)

Use Hot water, NO BLEACH and NO SOFTNER!They might still be stained looking but they are clean! I love mine--I did have to buy more about 9 months in. You can get the pad through Amazon. Hope this helped!
