I personally would clean the blade proper, I hate rusty blades and keep in mind that it isn't patina but rust/corrosion and rust is active, equal if red or brown/black.

The pictures were made when I first brought them home from the flea market.
Thank you Detlef. I also hate rusty blades! I should have been more clear in my post. "Stabilized the Rust". I removed the rust and stabilized the blade. I do not like to polish to chrome shine, I like the patina and age marks.
