Help... Rust On Blade...


JH Lee

Recommended Posts

I have a lovely wakizashi in good polish that came to me with a spot of rust.  It looks like the rust initially developed in a spot of kitae-ware/grain opening.  My concern is that I do not want the rust to spread visibly or deeper into the steel.  I keep the blade in shirasaya, in a dry environment, well-oiled (but not overly so, of course; just a thin layer).

 

What is the best solution for this kind of problem with rust?  Is there a danger that the rust will spread or get deeper?
