Long ago I read in a gunsmith mag about using acid to bring back rusted files. I don't recall the exact procedure but I'm guessing it involves removing all oil from the file before dipping it in the acid. I don't recall how long to leave in the acid or which acid. I would think muriatic. As I recall it didn't promise to make them like new but give more life when rusted. The article involved some sort of test that showed that the points got sharper.
