Im a martial artist, and i have tons of weapons. Everything from knives to samurai swords. But my superior weaponry are the Japanese Sais. I’ve been working with these weapons for about 3 years. And they are rusting. How can I remove the rust by myself without going to a professional shop. Could i use some type of cleaner or something…? Please Help.
You can use a product called Naval Jelly. It can be found in the painting department at Home Depot. If you can’t find it just ask. You apply a little to the rusted areas. Wait a few minutes, then rinse off. Dry quickly and you are done. If necessary you can repeat again. I’ve used it for years.
Best of luck!
EDIT:
I see some others trying to help. Honestly, it does not get any easier than Naval Jelly. No rubbing with steel wool or work.

Again what kind of surface? If they are not chrome I would use fine steel wool. If you store them in a dry place or case that should reduce the rust buildup. Also if you work your weapons a lot they do not rust because the oil of your skin will protects them from rust. If you just store your weapons I would very, very lightly coat them with oil. Just make sure you don’t use too much so the weapon becomes slippery.

whatever the material, clean lightly with wd 40. then you can remove the rust with special cleaners.
