Traditional folder disassembly?

[fire_wicket]

I have some traditional folders passed down to me from my grandfather that have sentimental value. They are severly rusted on the blade and on the liners. I would like to take them down and sand off the rust/use baking soda treatment. Are there any instructionals out there on how to dissassembly a pinned construction traditional and reassemble them? My bladeforum seach hasn't yeilded anything and I assume somone must have a tutorial out there?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

That type of knife isn't meant to be disassembled. You will find a lot of information on cleaning and maintaining them in the "Maintenance & Tinkering" forum.

They are quite easy to take apart, a matter of minutes actually!
But you should consider whether they are "important" collectible knives or not. Dis-assembly of, and cleaning a traditional pocketknife can reduce its value considerably.

They have no monetary value to me just want to take the rust off of them and make the usable. Any advice on how to take apart?
