Hi, I have an old Spanish Mauser bayonet, it is a little rough. I cleaned it up some but there is a little rust on the blade and metal pommel. I don't want to polish them so how can I keep the rust from spreading. This is not a valuable knife but I don't want to destroy it either. It is the first of my collection and I want to preserve it. Thanks
 
Clean it with food grade mineral oil. Don't store it in its scabbard. Leave a light coating if mineral oil on the blade and you'll be fine.
