Not an actual gunsmithing question, but I thought this would be the best audience for the question. I have an original V42 stiletto that was my grandfathers from WWII. It has a few random spots of rust on the blade, ricasso, and pommel. I have been in possession of it for over 22 years, but have taken a renewed interest in it. I keep it in a zip lock freezer bag, in my gun safe w de-humidifier, and lightly hit it with wd-40 every couple of years, but wondering if there is some other kind of oil I should be using to not only prevent any further rust, but to also possibly fight the spots that are there, even though they have been there for as long as I can remember. I don't want to use anything too harsh, but am wondering if there is something better than WD40. Thanks for any tips or feedback on what
