So, this band saw I just picked up came with about 15 blades.
They probably sat in the garage for a few years and got pretty rusty.
Right now, I have them soaking in some lubricant spray.

What's the best way to get that rust off?

I use a very coarse terrycloth towel and WD-40. The rougher the towel
the better. It is just abrasive enough to remove the rust (woth the
help of the WD-40) but is nor abrasive enough to actually scratch the
surface. This metod won't be of much use if there is pitting or heavy
rust. It also works on firearms that have light surface rust. It
will clean the rust without removing the blueing (and stuff like Navel
Jelly or oxalic acid certainly *will* remove the blueing!).
