How do you clean rust off of a carbon steel knife?
Is there anything else I should know before I try this method?
Yes, it's important to avoid using abrasive materials like steel wool or sandpaper, as they can scratch the surface of the blade. You should also be careful when applying the paste to only cover the rusted areas, so as to avoid potentially damaging the rest of the blade. Finally, make sure to dry the knife completely after cleaning to prevent any further rusting.
