On the other hand, if it's just a plain old knife and you don't care about collectability, you can use a variety of methods to take off the rust... steel wool, wire-brush, sandpaper, whatever. All these will leave scratches of some sort on the blade, so you might want to polish that off afterwards. If the rust is particularly bad it may leave pitting in the blade; this can be seen as 'antiquing'

I agree, you can also use "naval jelly" available at most hardware stores, or you could try "electrolysis"

If its not a valuable antique and if the blade still has enough meat on it you could take it to a slack belt sander a la Tom K's sharpening/polishing methods. That would solve the rust problem and bring it back to shiny sharpie goodness. Of course it could also ruin its integral stability too if its already too badly damaged by rust pitting.
