Will,

Although not the usual way you can use ferric chloride to get the pamor back. Another method is sulphur acid. But before you do this you should remove al the rust with the lemon juice. I suppose you already did this because the blade is shiny. But the best thing you can do is find somebody who can re-etch the blade with arsenic. Then you get the pamor back with the blade deep black.
