I use a polish called "blue magic" it is a bit runnier than toothpaste, comes in a tube, works on copper, aluminum, stainless, brass, etc. And it is not bad for powdercoating. Now, I avoid getting it on the powdercoating anyway, but it's nice to know it won't strip it off. All I do is apply it to the saber with a rag, then start wiping it off until it's gone. I use a whole rag to polish the saber once. both sides of the rag.
Anyone know where I can get another triangle d-ring and how to install it without scratching it? I screwed up because the cloth I put between my pliers and the d-ring wasn't thick enough.
I have heard the warnings about dueling with this saber and I can't see how you could hit a 7/8" thinwalled blade hard enough that the blade won't snap but the copper neck will. I won't be dueling with it myself, but the copper is thick. IMO, there is no way you could snap the neck without cutting yourself on the sharp edges of this saber and breaking the blade. But don't take this as an "oh, he said I can duel with my mkvi." cause I didn't say that.
