If the m. if smooth surfaced, and the real thing, Simi chrome will work just fine. Try flitz wax(not Polish) or a liquid auto wax like turtle to protect it for a while against finger prints and tarnishing. M. Lovett

why in the world would you want to clean mokume? that is against the basic reason for making it to begin with,it is the natural or applied patina that makes mokume something to look at and draw attention.
