In the case of a rusty knife, where oxidation is important, there are also several solutions to remove rust from your knife. The best known one is to use a clean cloth soaked in turpentine. Otherwise, if you have difficulty in procuring this product, you can also remove rust from knife by rubbing the blade with half an onion or a potato cut in half. These methods work very well on most rusty knives.
