The knife the OP is asking about is not a Chris Reeve Knives product and really shouldn't be on this forum. It is a counterfeit knife and has no business here.

Blade2clean: I agree. Maybe he thought it was real. Someone should move the thread to its proper place.
However instead of haze trying to humiliate the man, he should have manned up and helped. Pointed him in the right direction. The OP feels bad and removes his photos and haze just cant let it go.

Trolling? I think thats you. I was on the OP side helping him.
To the OP: everyone makes mistakes, noone knows it all. Post in another sub forum to get more help if you need. If it is indeed a cheap knife hydrochloric acid works wonders removing rust. And it should only take seconds. Its not to great on the steel though so use at your own risk.

For the rust spots on the blade, some Bar Keepers Friend powder, mixed to a paste with water, and applied to the WET blade sparingly, can take that off. Don't leave the Bar Keepers on the steel longer than maybe 30-60 seconds; the oxalic acid in it will etch the steel if you do. The acid is what does most of the work, so not much scrubbing is needed. Apply to a spot at a time, rubbing with a Q-tip, let it work for maybe 30 seconds and rinse it off thoroughly. I emphasized wetting the blade first, because that'll help protect the steel a little bit, from the oxalic acid. This is consistent with the instructions on the BKF container (read & heed them).
Don't know whether the spots on the handle are rust or not. If titanium, it won't rust in itself. But, if the spots are perhaps steel dust embedded in the surface of the Ti (sometimes happens with dirty manufacturing), it could still rust. Might carefully try the Bar Keepers for that as well (test a small spot first).
