    Default Rust removal options

    I just picked up my first straight at an antique mall today. The brand is ESTAS. Anyway the scales are shot but the blade seemed to be in great shape except for two rust spots on either side. I hit them with a little bit of rem oil since I've had good luck with it removing surface rust. It didn't work that great for this. I've read that most people go for either scrubbing bubbles or diluted clr. The blade has some nice gold etching so I just wanted some opinions on how to save the etching while removing the rust.
