I ALSO HAVE SERIOUSLY COLLECTED JAPANESE SWORDS FOR MANY YEARS. I MUST AGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUES THAT A GERMAN DAGGER IS BEST LEFT ALONE EXCEPT FOR CLEANING. SOME OF THE BIG DEALERS IN DAGGERS BUFF THEIR WARES TO A HIGH SHEEN. I PERSONALLY PREFER MY DAGGERS WITH THE NATURAL AGE PATINA ON THE METAL FITTINGS.
