help with some rusting steel

[wingbone]

got my first deer of the season yesterday morning with my bow....a nice fat doe [img]smile.gif[/img] problem is that after field dressing the deer yesterday morning it appears I put my knives back in my pack and forgot to clean them. got them out as soon as I remembered today and cleaned them up but I have some rust and some nasty lookin black stains that will not come out with gun oil. can anybody tell me what to do now? one is a S.S. blade and the other is carbon steel....and I already know I'm a dumb@$# for forgetting to clean my knives in the forst place

You can try a buffing wheel.

I've never had to go beyond Hoppes/Steel wool, followed by breakfree ...

I'm a knife aficionado; go to bladeforums.com; if that doesn't work get some Flitz blue polish (made in Germany) if that doesn't take it out it's all over but the cryin
