Sup guys, ive this stiletto, not sure what material but ive a feeling its some steel or smth. Its been getting rust and some corrosion i think? Or more of oxidation since its dark brown in colour. Anything i can use to remove these stains and maintain the stiletto?
Most of the time, Autosol and some elbow grease would repair it but it all depends on how bad the rust is.

May i know where to get mineral oil locally? Besides mineral oil, any other alternative?
Hi guys,
Am looking to sell my SOG Kiku Large Fixed with Black Blade for S$230. In mint condition comes with sheath and warranty.
Also selling my United Cutlery Navy Seal Knife for S$50. Comes with sheath.
Prices are competitive to Amazon's.
Do PM me or send an email to my njxchris@ hotmail.com if interested.
Thanks!
Ah okay. The metal is somewhat greyish in colour, so im not sure if autosol would be a thing to use since its like a metal polish?

can use autosol to remove rust from SS but if you keep polishing, it will give the surface a shine mirror finish.
Try rust removers, vinegar, coke or scrubbing with WD40. Depends on how bad the rust is. Autosol works but polishes the metal. You can go to hardware shops. Basically you want a mild acid to dissolve the rust but not till it etches the metal.
IKEA. only $5 for big bottle.
Thanks! Not sure if it makes sense but im trying to find food grade mineral oil
Edited: seems like the ikea mineral oil is a safe bet for knife which might be needed for food preparation !
SKYDD Wood treatment oil, indoor use - IKEA
Pros are saying food grade mineral oil has too much tiny dust that causes folders joints to jam up.
They actually used it for kitchen knives?
you have more than 100posts so perhaps you can post a pic, you can host it on one of the free photosharing sites - it'll be easier to identify/know how bad the rust looks. When you say 'greyish' - do you mean it is beadblasted (matt) or satin/polished? also, is it carbon steel, stainless steel, an antique, what is the value etc. For antiques, you really don't want to remove anything but arrest the rust. Restoration may hurt its value. There are lots of youtube videos showing the use of vinegar, baking soda etc on rust removal.
Yup it is! @squarebox even so.. how do you suggest i remove the rust? does some rust bits on my velvet lining on the box make the blade rust even more? Sorry but im really quite noob at this
The stiletto... I call it the pride that comes with rust. Just about unavoidable.. Short of a full strip, rust proofing and then repainting.. there's really not much else that can restore it well or close to its original pristine state. I have an older one, it rust even easier but since its "unpainted" it's easier to oil and keep rust at bay. Still the exposed edges is a pain and need a little honing time to time to lick off tiny rust spots, oiled or not.
