Happy Holidays Great Galootians,

My grandfather game me the 3 saws on the right https://imgur.com/a/omKmv.
Obviously the second one have the handle to be replaced but before, I would
like to refurbish them.
I've tried to understand the process of electrolyse but I can't understand
what metal to use, I have a magnesium anode (brand new) from a water
heater, can it work ?
I've tried to clean with vinegar another saw but it kinda removed the
disston etching on the blade. So I would like to keep it if possible. And
in the end, should I polish the saws with a cotton wheel and polish to
reduce the friction created by the wood?
Since we are talking about electrolyse, I would like to do the same with
his 2 old bailey-stanley #4and block plane and a handyman #5 Or should I
lightly sandblast them ?

On the second saw, there's a curve on the blade (not corked, a real curved
in the blade itselt) And I can't read what's the brand of the saw (if
someome can help about this)


Thank you
Rick.
