I just got a beat-to-**** true temper kelly works, it looks intact and barbaric but i can't find any info on it, it just pulls up with the kelly perfect.

Any info?

I'd recommend not using vinegar anymore as it removes the patina, a wire wheel is the best way to go 👍 some people prefer the set it and forget it approach of the vinegar soak, but the patina which it destroys just can't be replicated ( not exactly anyway )
If it hasn't been soaking for very long I'd take it out and go with a wire wheel instead.
 
i know about that, im just trying something different on this, i've done quite a few axes with just a wire wheel, now i only have a wire wheel on my drill so i figure i'll let the vinegar instead of fighting a drill for half an hour. And if i want the patina back, i can just boil it in vinegar, i think. i saw it, but steels are different

Good luck dealing with that vomit inducing smell 😷😷😷 ( the smell of vinegar literally makes me sick )
I know what you mean about using a drill, I too have yet to get a new one for my angle grinder but it was a heck of a lot easier before I lost mine.
