I have a nice set of Henckles kitchen knives that have some surface rust on them. What can I use to take care of it. Was thinking of trying some Flitz.  |

He specifically mentions carbon steel knives in that video mine are stainless. Can you use bar keepers friend on stainless? |

I use it on my stainless sink, makes it look brand new. Even though most think stainless will not rust, it will. Not as quick to rust as carbon steel, but it will rust just the same, it's just more rust resistant. |

try letting them soak in white vinegar

Quoted: If I used vegetable oil what can I scrub it with? Tried a scotch brite pad but it did nothing. Quoted: Quoted: Flitz will work great or Vegatable oil AKA FireClean |
| Make a paste out of baking soda and dish soap. scrub out the rust with a dish towel or scrubby pad, let the paste do the work, you could even use a folded up wet paper towel. rinse and lube with mineral oil. mineral oil is baby oil without fragrance, it is non toxic and doesn't spoil. use it on your wood cutting boards to keep the hydrated and water resistant. |

Use a Brillo pad, stay away from the edge.
The knife won't have the pretty grinding marks, but the edge won't care. Then sharpen, just because nice knives deserve sharpening once in a while. Or, just accept the spots as spontaneous rust bluing in progress and use steel wool on them. |
