Hi Guys, I am currently restoring my first WW11 Japanese sword. Am using a combo of sand paper and stones from Namikawa Co. out of Tokyo (great stones). I am almost done with first stone, Kongo, (harsh) and will move onto next stone in the progression. My sword looked like it was in the ground for 70 years. Lots of pits, stains, scratches, etc. I have gotten almost everything off except a fairly large pit near the tip of sword. I am afraid if I keep using stone the blade will get too thin near tip and the geometry of blade will be ruined. What can I do with this pit? Any suggestions. Size of pit is end of a pencil tip and about credit card deep. Ugh. Any suggestions? Thanks for feedback.

use a rust neutraliser such as Naval Jelly then a light polish with a Dremel brush, this will stop the pit from growing with out removing more metal
