My Woodie is looking a bit tainted with black. Any advice on how to clean it? I've already tried the slurry from a fine grit and a nagura stone?

You could try the finest emery you can find, or fery fine wire wool. Is it a patina, or is the metal going ginger? The patina will protect the blade from rust to a certain degree, it may be worth leaving it that way. I also find that carbon blades with a patina don't leave that "Lick a 9V battery" taste after prepping food.

Another idea is that you could also splash out on one of those tuff-cloths, think they are about £8 each. They are pretty good at cleaning up blades and they pritect it from corrosion as well.
Or clean it up using a metal polish like Scott suggested and then treat with mineral or camelia oil to prevent future corrosion, oxidisation or whatever you want to call it.
