Thread: removing rust gently

You could go to the Auto Shop and and get some 1500 grit and 2000 grit sand paper...

Eleblue, I've used the technique you mentioned frequently to brighten up blades. All I usually do is hand polish using simichrome....scales included. The time involved is generally under about ten minutes, but the results are nice. However, in your situation, you will likely have some residual pitting at the tip and as mentioned, you may have a bit of cottage cheese underneath during honing.

Whatever you do be careful and safe. That's a nasty spot to be working on. Spike point and edge.

once i remove the rust i'll post after pic's and let you gent's know what i have done thanks gent's
