semichrome is a cleaner, used for brass, etc. it will clean off the natural rust, so it "might" show if it is older.
From what I udnerstand, the thickness of the tool is the best way to decide if real or not. Hardness, well, i have found the fakes to easily bend, so bad i hate them and won't buy a fake. Also, I have seen old lists of luger dealers, both Hoffman and Shattuck offering new made, just like the originals in the 1960's. Ed
