I’m hard on a few of my knives (lazy…) - what are the easiest ways to remove some surface staining & minor corrosion?

Same as surface rust on a rifle. Fine steel wool and a few drops of gun oil.

Use OOOO steel wool or Copper scouring pads. Plus oil. Caution: Do not use copper coated steel scouring pads.

You said easiest so that would be a buffing wheel and jeweler’s rouge. Do not use it on anything blued though.

If it's a stainless blade I would use my buffing wheel after 0000 steel wool.
Pass the gravy.

Liquid Wrench and steel wool would work just fine.

If it is bright/polished steel, I use my Japanese water stones 1000-5000 grit. also a good opportunity
to sharpen or hone the edge. If you have stubborn areas, they can be cleaned with some mineral oil and a bamboo chopstick.

Breakfree & 0000 steel wool
I am still looking for the perfect apron, one with reinforced knee areas would be perfect. Some people live an entire lifetime & wonder if they ever made a difference in the world, a veteran doesn't have that problem. Reagan
