Hi All

Can anyone tell me how to remove rust damage on Khuks without scratching blade !!!

Thanks
Brendan
 
There's experts here with better methods but I do it the old fashioned way -- with sandpaper, going from coarse to fine.
 
You remove rust by wearing away the surface in which it resides. So some scratching is inevitable. But, removing surface rust should leave minimal damage. Start by wiping the surface down with a good coat of light oil (baby oil works fine), this will actually remove some of the loose discoloration. Dry off the blade and work the surface with a rust eraser (just like a pencil eraser), it's a small hard rubber block imbedded with diamond dust, available from AG Russel and most knife shops. You can then wipe it down with a metal polish (look at the local auto parts shop) to remove any remaining traces of rust.

What of Naval Jelly? I know it leaves a finish less polished than when it's put on, but wouldn't that help get most of the rust off without scratching? Then polish back up?
 
Huh.
Shows how smart I am. I thought this was all about that troll who came here making trouble.
:footinmou :rolleyes:

Anyway, what about that magic wadding stuff? Can't remember the name but maybe someone is better with names.

HeeHee:D So did I:barf:

12 ga is my suggestion....;) but I guess for regular rust the above would work;) :grumpy:
 
This is a timely thead with the recent rains and flooding in Nepal. I fear we will be seeing our share of rust for a month or so.
