Ruh Roh, Rustttttttt....

[Hassiebawked]

Reviving the thread because I have a serious rust problem. I bought this Case Canoe knife with the intent of carrying for a couple of years and then passing it on to my son when he is old enough to start carrying a knife. It went missing about 4-5 months ago and I found it today. It was caught in the rubber gasket of the front loading washing machine. Who knows how many cycles it went through, but it was nearly rusted shut.

Any ideas on the best way to try and clean it up?

Should I soak it in EvapoRust and then give it a good wipe down with a light abrasive?

Get out the dremel and sand the heavy rust off?

Something else?

White vinegar bath soak and G96 Gun treatment would whip it back into shape.

case makes a polish and a rubber knife cleaner thing that's like a eraser that works pretty good
