Please remove those fingerprints from the blade unless you want to have rust. NEVER touch the blade with your bare hands. Do not clean it with anything other than soft tissue (no fragrance etc), apply machine oil (no other oils, please) but only sparingly.

Thanks for your attention Marius ! This blade was rust and "fingerprints" before me.... And  will be professionally polished !
