I've gotten spots on my 5" utility knife - it looks like it may be rust starting - does anyone know how to get this off?!

Thanks!
 
Try a little Bar Keeper's Friend. You can find it near the scouring powder and other cleansers at the store.
 
I used Baking Soda on mine and it worked fine. I got the knife wet and sprinkled the baking soda directly on it and gently rubbed it with a paper towel. This also helped make the small scratches from a misdirected attempt with one of those green scrubbie pads -- big mistake that was. Hope this helps. Gloria
 
this worksif nothing else try lemon juice and a cork that is how I used to keep my cutlery shinny and new looking
 
That happened to my Santoku knife. Bar Keeper's Friend took care of it in a jiffy! It's a good tip to pass on to customers. I had someone return a sharpening-case knife to me (I was not their consultant) because it was stained. I got it clean with Bar Keeper's Friend.
