Hello,
Although you may not know what the black on it is (and that is understandable), I believe that knowing that might be helpful in considering the best way to remove it. It would also, of course, be great if you could also post some pics of the blade. Every little bit of information helps for the evaluation.
I believe that the "pinned" thread on dagger preservation might also help you consider all the best possible things to do. It's at the very top of this dagger section. I know some suggest using Semi-Chrome. I've never used that yet, since I have, as yet, not had a reason to use it. I believe the Semi-Chrome is a sort of mild polish with abrasives in it. So, be careful there with using/applying too much too vigorously, as I think overuse can cause scratches.
Well, since no one else jumped in, I just thought I would offer my two cents worth. Hope that's at least a little helpful. If anyone has a different perspective, please do jump in too!
Sincerely,
Chris

Well, since no one is challenging me or even offering any other ideas, maybe I'm just totally correct for a change...
