Hi, I'm not a blacksmith, but I have a question that you may be able to help me with.
I just bought some wrought iron cutlery from an online shop, the maker is Windlass Steelcraft. ( have attached a photo of them after the cleaning)
They have a black coating on them and when I got them I scrubbed them with a steel wool SOS pad, (some of the black came off) rinsed them and then coated them with mineral oil.
My questions are: I am using these at Ren Fairs, these should be safe to eat with correct?
Is cleaning them with an SOS pad and then coating with mineral oil the best way to care for them?
To get them to be a uniform color, could (and should) I use a gun blueing agent?
Included is a picture of the knife edge. To sharpen this, is there anything I can do myself to sharpen it considering I don't have a lot of tools?
Do you have any other suggestions for me in the use/care of these?
Thanks for any help!
