Removing Rust from KnivesUpdated 2 years ago

Made In Knives should always be towel-dried immediately and never left wet or in a sink, as this can cause rust to form along the blade. However, if you see rust begin to develop, this can be easily treated with vinegar:

Simply fill up a bowl that can hold your rusted knife with white vinegar. Do not use apple cider, balsamic, or white wine vinegar.

You can submerge the full knife, but if the blade is the only part with surface rust, you can just place the rusty blade in it. Leave for 3-5 minutes.

You can use a sponge, wire brush, scrubber, steel wool, scrubbing pad, or even a toothbrush to rub the rust off the knife. Be cautious with metal tools that may leave marks on the blade. Finally, wash the knife with soap and water, and then make sure it is thoroughly dried before putting it away.
