soak in diesel/wd40...put blade in vice GENTLY and work handle back n forward over n over again....rust will go away....done it a few times over the years with old ones that were seized completely.

Thanks @Micky Duck will give that a go tonight. Really love the Mercators. Bloody good work horse and they’re practically indestructible.
