bought this knife at a garage sale. what's the best way

>>1189702
Just oil it and wiggle it around until the blade comes out, then use steel wool. That knife isn't that badly rusted.

>>1189705
What sort of oil?

>>1189702
Not sure if this would be safe for the acrylic handle, but my go-to rust removal is a vinegar soak.

I typically soak old steel/iron parts in a Tupperware of vinegar for about a week, agitating it daily. When it's done, there will be no rust and it also won't remove and existing steel. But as I said, I'm not sure if this would be safe on the plastic.

General houshold / sewing machine oil. Motor oil could also be used or crc/ wd40 or similar.

>vinegar

Good on ferrous metals but can wreck others. That whole knife looks to have a number of metals in it.

Why did you buy this?

Serious because I have shit lying around I never suspected had value.

>>1189722
no idea. felt like I wanted a knife.

I also bought a made in USA Gillette safety razor.

doing some light research I'm guessing it's a Fatboy? looks like pics related. together with the knife it was $2

it should be safe to use once I boil it and change the blade right? doesn't look like there is any rust or anything like that on it

is it hard to use these types of shavers. only ever used Gillette Mach 3s

how much did you pay?

$2 with the razor I described in the post above.

forgot to add a pic

I have an old picket knife somewhere that I rescued from a quarter inch of standing water in a gutted fuse box.

First think I did was scrub it down with warm soapy water to knock off all the loose shit. After that I squirted the fuck out of it with WD40 and worked the blades and other moving parts loose. I dropped it in a bowl of CLR over night to soak, and scrubbed the rest of the rust off. After that, I resharpened it, and re-oiled it, and it was good as new


The blades were stainless, and most of the body was brass, so those came clean pretty easily. Some of the trim was just brass plated, and I think I fucked up the finish with the CLR, but it still looks alright. Biggest problem was that the springs on the back. Not sure what they were made of, but they were caked up pretty bad with rust. I actually ended up taking a small flat head screw driver and scrapping the inside of the knife until I got it all out.

is it common to have that 'rough sawn plastic' handle? i've got a usa made jensen i got for $1 that looks similar (doesn't have the metal top)

Diesel is very good for removing rust. Just put it in a bin with diesel over night, and it should loosen. Not sure how the other materials on the knife will react tho

Buy a bottle called "The Must For Rust."
Dab rust with saturated q-tips.
Scrub until all cotton is dead and rust is gone.
It will take hours but it's how I fixed this mess.

>>1189702
baking soda. I use it to clean coutlery

Electrolysis

tea will create an iron tanate reaction that will remove rust and protect the metal. mix with vinegar is usually rec

I tried one of those when they stopped making my beloved Schick Tracer (assholes). Fuckers are too small/short for me. They shave OK and the blades are cheap but it just didn't work for me.
