What I do to clean my knife is ;
Scrape any thick rust off with gentle scraping using another knife.
After bulk of rust is removed I then use 000 steel wool pads. This removes
the balance of rust well, good for getting into those small pits.
Be sure to rinse your knife extremely well.  You do not want to leave small
particles of steel wool on your knife to rust.
Lube it afterwards to hinder the rust returning and it will return.
