Nice old knife. I would just oil the joints and take a number 2 pencil lead to it if you see any active rust on the metal. That's all you need to do in my humble opinion.

Absolutely agree. No abrasives. J.O'.

Ditto.
When my blades have that kind of patina, I wipe them with oil occasionally, as well as oiling the joints. It keeps them from rushing and gives a beautiful shine that I appreciate.
You have a beautiful knife there!
