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

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,

(4) Let sit for at least one to two minutes (may take 5 minutes or more depending on the depth of the rust)
(5) Remove paper towel, check for any remaining rust (place back on if the rust is still present, & check in a few more minutes)
(6) When rust is gone, wash the knife, & dry

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.
