I polished my brother's sword today. An accomplished blade smith, he makes swords for leisure and money. In the afternoon today, he had to meet with his parkour group and so gave me instructions for his sword. His sword was drenched in toyo-smelling liquid. I had to peel the covering with my bare fingers and run the blade under running water for about three minutes. Right after that, I had to coat the blade with another strange-smelling substance before wiping it in ethyl alcohol and leaving it out to dry.
