Japanese Sword (Katana) Cleaning/Maintenance
Does anyone know a place in the GTA that can properly disassemble and clean a Katana? I've had a real one for about 8 years but it got wet when I had flood in the basement of my old house a few years ago and I didn't realize it for a few months. Anyway, there's some dirty spots on the handle from sitting wet so I'm worried water is under the hilt rusting it under there. I don't want to try to dissemble it myself and would rather have someone who knows what they are doing look at it. So does anyone know a place?

Try looking for an armourer - there's one here in Calgary, does very impressive work recreating medieval armour and weapons using authentic techniques (had the chance to suit-up in some of his chain-mail and armour once). Medieval Reproductions.

LOL guys. Is it really that surprising I was being serious... But yah, its an authentic katana I got for no reason other then to look at it on my old fireplace haha. I got the certificate somewhere and everything. It's a "battle ready" sword meaning is fully sharpened and I have tested it a few times and it cuts like butter. Though I usually spent a while polishing the blade afterwards so I avoid doing that haha. Here's some pics including the water damage...
