I got this a bit over a year ago and its not actually demascus pretty obviously. But it looks cool as all get out and now its rusting bit by bit. How can i clean and fend off rust so i can keep using this blade?
Disclaimer, i dont have a whett stone yet. Id like to get one, and im sure that would help with the rust. But thats just the edge. What would i do about the rust on the flat of the blade where the pattern is all etched and delicate?

Best things to use are KPL (knife pivot lube) or a food grade mineral oil.
Damascus is folded steel, nothing too fancy or special about it, fake Damascus is when it’s laser etched onto the blade.
Depending on how bad the rust is a little bit of vinegar and a kitchen scrubby will take it off, if it needs more than that it’s something like bar keepers Friend or another polishing compound
