Kabar USMC hand guard shave. Anyone done this

I ground off the muzzle ring on various bayonets years ago and left the lower finger guard, it makes a big difference.:thumbup:

Any ideas on how to refinish the bare metal?

Thanks.

Cold blue or just keep it oiled. I remember that article by Karwan. I almost got a new Kabar just to try it on.
