I picked up this Warranted Superior saw a couple of years ago along with an old Disston. I suspect it was probably made by Disston too. It has been hanging on a nail in the shop since I got it but I needed to saw a couple of pieces of flooring (Cumaru, aka Brazilian Teak) to fit in the trash. This saw was nearby so I grabbed it. The handle felt like it was made for my hand and it went through that Cumaru like a hot knife through butter.
Now I want to clean it up and turn it into a user. IF possible I'd like to try and retain the etch on the blade. What method of cleanup do you guys recommend? I've got a few gallons of Evaporust handy which is what I was going to use to remove the rust. If I hit it with a brass brush or steel wool after the Evaporust has done it's thing is that going to take the etch away? Also, is there anyway to date these Warranted Superior saws? Thoughts appreciated.
