Hmmm

I say go for it. It really doesn't take any special equipment to deal with rust: sandpaper, steel wool, micromesh are all good. Throw in some metal polish, and you're pretty well set. It just takes time and elbow grease, but can definitely be done without any special tools.

+1 to the suggestion of cleaning it up then sending it out to be honed. That will be a quite low-cost option and you *may* end up with a great blade. You may not, but there's really only one way to find out...
