<p>[QUOTE="Lark, post: 3757564, member: 13605"]From an earlier comment I made on rusty pocket knives.my husband and i owned a gun and antique store after we retired. semi retired from that now. There is a cleaning pad called</p><p>big Frontier 45.<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Big-45-Frontier-Metal-Cleaner/dp/B07RM692X8" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.amazon.com/Big-45-Frontier-Metal-Cleaner/dp/B07RM692X8" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/Big-45-Frontier-Metal-Cleaner/dp/B07RM692X8</a>. It looks like a kitchen scouring pad but it is NOT. We use it to clean gun barrels. It does not hurt factory blueing on the barrels; it is that gentle. I use it to clean up pocket knives and carbon steel kitchen knives. It is truly an amazing as all of our customers can attest to. I took a pocket knife i got for free because it was rusted shut. Cleaned it right up using the pad and a little gun oil. it did not remove the discoloration from the rust but the blade was smooth as new. I take a little piece and run it into the grooves . in less than 30 min that knife was up for sale. can't use it on the nickel or brass bolsters it will scratch those. If you can't get the pad try just scraping with a nickel( also used to clean gun barrels)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
