wd40 and 0000 steel wool works for me.

EDIT: you can also use birchwood casey Blue and Rust Remover, but like the name says, it removes blueing too.

Actually, I am trying to remove some rust from a knife. Will WD40 be too toxic?

not at all, wd40 would be perfect, spray it on, let it soak for a minute or two, then use steel wool to buff out the rust.

Or just go to your local autozone and pick up a bottle of evaprust..

A bench wheel with wire wheel and buffer wheel will do the trick.

Apply Kroil or Ed's Red. Let sit for a half hour. Rub lightly with 0000 steel wool. Repeat for effect. If it's a Paki knife go lightly with the steel wool.

I went and did some research, Evapo-Rust, seems to be some GOOD stuff!!!

3rd recommendation for Evapo-Rust. The best part about his stuff is that unlike acid based products (Rustoleum), it doesn't leave pits behind. As Wildcard writes, get it at Autozone.
Enjoy,

I got Evapo-Rust.... it did work on the rust... and removed them from my carbon-steel knife.... but it did leave some "black" marks.... probably carbon??

I have to use quite some metal polish & elbow grease to take them off.... the knife looks a lot better than before now.... altho *still* some faint black marks...

Those are the pits.

I tried it on an old rifle barrel and it didn't work for me. Resorted to steel wool and elbow grease. Naval jelly seems to work awesome on old toyota steel wheels though... go figure.

I've heard that you can scrape rust off a blued gun (without damaging bluing) with a nickel...
