cleaning rust on carbon steel knives & wear-ever/cutco ?

[andrew44]

noobie with a few ?'s thanks for your help

does anybody have tricks for getting old carbon steel knives really clean?
I've used sos & socthbrite but that hasnt gotten them shiny yet or atleast blemish spot free

wear-ever knives > I've heard mixed comments about cutco servicing wear-ever knives, some say they will sharpen some say they wont resharpen. Does anybody have experience with sending these back to cutco?

Flitz, barkeepers friend, rust erasers, or wet/dry sandpaper

great thanks!! I'm gonna try those tricks.
Plus maybe try simichrome polish ?
just tried some Mr. Metal and that seems to do okay

Also thought about purchasing a bench top buffing wheel with wire brush wheel
Is the buffing wheel a good route to go for carbon or just for stainless or high carbon steel?
