Besides electric, Any other simple method to remove rust?

Looking at the texture and amount of pitting on your blade I would not use any sort of chemical or dipping procedure but would just oil it and rub it down gently with a rag or paper. Keep the patina and just stop it from further deterioration.

Just my opinion!

Thanks for these advice. So kind of you fellows.

At last I think one way to bring the beauty back is to grind carefully.

I prefer a good machine oil and "elbow grease" used with a scrubber sponge and various kinds of cloth material. I have also used lemon juice to bring out the Damascus pattern. Make sure to wash the blade with soap and water after using lemon juice or vinegar. Personally I don't like to see overcleaned pieces.
