I always wonder if it is "right" to use sandpaper (of course by hand), even if of very fine grade (say 800), on old blades to get rid of the rust.

Hi Paolo,

first welcome to the forum! In this case I've used wet-sandpaper (here 600) in combination with WD40. According to circumstances of corrosion I use finer grade of sandpaper or steel-wool and this, like you write, of course by hand.

Regards,
Detlef
