My "hooky" is marked to the Highland Light Infantry
Surely cleaning off the active rust on yours,couldn't hurt (NOT with a wire wheel!)

Gentlemen,
 
I note a question about cleaning grime off a bayonet blade, without damaging it.
 
It can be done. What you require is very fine steel/wire wool, and copious amouts of oil. keep the blade well oiled, and with light preasure on the blade, move the steel wool in continuous circles. Continue until the blade is clean. this procedure is acceptable for removing even the most stubourn of rust.
This is MY rifle, there are many like, but this one... is MINE!
