I just got a set of raw Yururi Flatback's that I plan on refinishing with a black oxide

I also have a set of Yururi Tour wedges.

My question is: am I able to refinish the wedges the same way as the irons?

I'm not 100% sure if the wedges are "raw". They were originally dark black but have turned a more regular steel colour where I make contact on the clubface..and also where I make contact on the hozzel. There is a tiny amount of rust  on the sole but not what I would imagine an actual raw wedge would get. I think you can only use a black oxide on raw steel but I just don't know and don't want to mess up my wedges. 

Cheers, Jeff

Here’s a photo of the wedge. The photo doesn’t do it justice it looks a lot more gray than it is. It was dark black when I got it new

Both the blade and gekku wedge originally had kurozome black finish.  its not a durable coating but feels great and wears nicely.  It is not RAW.

RAW = no finish.

Thanks Chris. 

Even though it is not raw can I still refinish the wedge with black oxide? I thought the black oxide was for a raw finish only.

It’s a coating, not a plating so black oxide will still react with the metal as if it were raw.
