Anyone have any luck removing chrome from bayonets?

I've seen a few around I wouldn't mind having but they've been chromed and the chrome is pretty unsightly, flaking, missing, etc.

I've read about home remedies like baking soda, bleach and oven cleaner that will take it off but wondering what the end result looks like.

Is it worth the effort?
