Hi all,
Oh man, I am really an idiot...
Just received my HW Tori Elite and wanted to clean it a little. Thus I used some polish past to remove this heavy greace that comes with these new swords.
But now I dont see the hada anymore. :cry:
What can polish the blade thin enough so the hada appears again ?
regards

You can't really "kill" a hada. It's an intrinsic property of forge-folded steel. It's still there. You've just obscured it. The hada on your sword was polished and enhanced in Hanwei's factory likely using some kind of mechanically assisted process that approximates polishing with a jizuya finger-stone. The very BEST advice I can give you? Click on the "Members" tab above, and fire off an e-mail to Hyoujinsama.

If anything you've likely just burnished it. You could probably bring it back with the right stones or an etching cycle or two.
There should be advice on both in this same section...

Thank you for the advices !
As this forum seems relatively new, I did find data about etching cycle ?

Hmm maybe those particular tutorials haven't made it over yet, but if you can find the ones about enhancing hamon, they should do the same to hada...but be very, very careful and make sure you clean the blade thoroughly afterwards. I'll poke around myself and see if I can't find something useful.
Edit because my phone's autocorrect is STUPID.
