    Default Bad rust is this one hopeless?

    This was in a group I bought, all were sharp, but this one has major rust. Is it worth messing with? It's nice and hefty, 13/16, nothing written on it(or no longer?)

    Look for my handsanding howto which I posted in this forum.
    It takes time, but it is cheap, and it can bring a blade from crap to mint.

    I've fix'd worse, but I'm not into high polish ether so YMMV...
