A perfect candidate for what I call a " quick clean".
No need for unpinning, and nothing more than steel wool n WD40, followed by metal polish. Or my favorite.. Cut the active rust off the blade with a single edge razor blade, then clean and polish with 3M metal restorer/polish.

There's not enough steel to warrant any sanding, without compromising the integrity of the blade, plus you'll loose the etch.
If you plan to hone your own, I recommend you get a 1000 chosera along side that 4000/8000 combo, then later you can pick up a 12000 finisher.

As for sanitizing...Purell hand sanitizer works great.

Best of luck, yell if ya need help.!
