Make a paste of baking soda and water. The light rust should come off very easy with a little rubbing.

Try rubbing with steel wool.

Or use vinegar and salt, that's what I've always used.

Lemon juice!

(1) Wrap the blade in a paper towel,
(2) Pour lemon juice onto paper towel until wet,
(bottled lemon juice is perfect for this)
(3) Press wet paper towel to blade,

CAUTION: Lemon juice likely will stain carbon steel knives, & can stain stainless steel knives. Lemon juice cannot repair any pitting caused by rust. Working with knives can get you cut (obviously); those cuts are more painful when lemon juice is introduced into them.

ALSO: This may or may not work with lime juice, I simply don't know.
