Simichrome and Nevr-Dull, indispensable back in the motorcycle days of the 70's for metal polishing. Mother's and Flitz are good products also but I would rate them: 1) Simichrome 2) Flitz 3) Mother's YMMV

Sincere thanks!

Been working on a Deba, I was told it is about 40 years old. Would really like to know more about it, I'm sure the secret is there in the Kanji. Can anyone help or give direction? Thanks in advance!

These are old, there have been some modifications, I'll see if he has or can take an updated pic.
