This removes pitting and light rust?
There are many different levels of restoration
Starting at the easiest
Patina (if there are any dark marks it ain't patina)
Stains
Light red rust
Heavy red rust
Black rust
Black spider rust
Devil Spit
Getting the top layers off does not remove pitting, how deep the pitting goes determines how far you have to go :(
Either Hand Sanding with wet r dry, using a Buffing wheels with Greaseless compounds, or a Belt grinder are the only ways to get out the pitting..
There is no "Easy" way to take out pitting
Thanks Glen!
You are most welcome :) figured answering here was better than by PM
Maybe I'll just have you clean them up and start honing from there!Quote:

Don't take my advice on this level of restoration as I'm not an authority. However, if the blade is lacking luster, this stuff can get it back to a respectable shiny state with a little elbow grease. Rust may require an abrasive.Quote:

A picture would have been great. I would start out will some Maas polish this stuff works excellent, it will remove rust and blackening to a degree. Get it as cleaned up a you can get with the MAAS polish then you can better determine how aggressive you would like to go with any sanding or you may be satisfied with just the polish.
For heavy rust I just drop the blade in vinegar and it eats it all.
