Hello,
A few of my blades were stored for a long period and I need to remove some surface rust. There may be pitting.
I have several carbon steel swords, a few knives.
I've heard of everything from steel wool, to...vegetable oil? Sandpaper?
Looking for some solid advice on ridding some long swords of rust. Mothers mag polish didn't seem to do much.
I want to get off as much as I can to improve the look and longevity of the blades. Also, to store them without the carbon steel rusting again, is some kind of wax my only choice? The blades were well oiled before being stored.
Thanks.
