New here, didnt see a sword area so I thought I would look for help here.
I have 3 Damascus blades. Had some water damage in the house and contractors moved them in the garage without me knowing/realizing. Moved back in and boy, my heart is broken.
Looking for help on how to fix this. Dont have a lot of bladesmiths in my area.

Look again - Sword Discussion.

Although there's nothing inherently wrong with where you posted. Another option was Maintenance, Tinkering, & Embellishment.

The files you have linked are access-restricted, so no one can see the pictures.

However, if you have rust damage, the long and short of it is that a damascus blade would need to be polished clean and then re-etched to bring the pattern back out after the rust is removed.
 
MM, not be confused with M&M or Eminem, pointed you in the right direction.

Welcome to our addiction...I mean these forums.
