Everything steel looks better without rust, unless you’re a steampunk fan. Did you get it off with formic acid? Wild guess based on the finish.
Sharkstar-

Citric acid and a toothbrush. Although I left it in a bit longer than planned.
Decided to fix some 180 to my work mate which made better progress on the back. So will try and have another sesh on that then go back to the whetstone.
Not sure why I'm bothering. Would be quicker to drive to Screwfix.

@Sharkstar you shamed me into trying to cleaning the poor fellow up.
Regretting my 400/1000 whetstone choice now as I could really do with something coarser to start. But hey-ho work with what you got.
Still a way to go. But better.
