However, the oil will gradually oxidize and rather start to damage the blade instead of protecting it. Therefore, you need to reapply new oil every 1 to 2 months, but just applying new oil on top of the old oil is meaningless. • This white (red) mallet called 打ち粉 Uchiko, contains whetstone powder which removes the old oil. So the process of the katana maintenance is basically, • 1. Apply the whetstone powder with Uchiko • 2. Wipe the old oil off • 3. Apply fresh oil again (to prevent it from rusting) • However, this method of cleaning is only for real katana that may rust. For Iaido swords made of zinc alloy or replicas for display purposes made from aluminum, using Uchiko would rather damage the blade. In the case of such swords, simply wiping the blade with a clean tissue is fine. • *The content is based on personal studies and experience • There is no intention of denying other theories and cultural aspects • ▼Who is Shogo?
