Gold, Nickel Plating and Sword Maintenance

​

General

 

When you handle metal /plated metal with your bare hands, acids react with the metal and can cause discolouration. Therefore, we recommend handling metal components with cotton gloves and if they have been handled with bare hands to wipe them down with a soft dry cloth afterwards.

 

Different environments can affect the metal parts of our swords. If you should keep your sword in humid and salt air conditions you should wipe down metal components with a soft cloth. For storage, it is best to keep them in a soft cloth protective bag with Vaseline on the stainless steel blade. If they do happen to get wet, wipe them down with a dry soft cloth

​Sword Care and Maintenance

 

Gold plated / Nickel plated components

 

Please note that gold plated, polished brass and nickel plated swords will tarnish over time depending on the frequency of use and care. Therefore, we recommend handling with cotton gloves, wiping down with a soft cloth and storing in a protective bag when not in use.

​

Stainless Steel Blades

 

If you plan to store your sword for a long period of time you should apply Vaseline to the blade to protect from rust.
