I leave pitting like that, give it a hot vinegar bath and scrub with a stainless steel tooth brush.
Heat the blade in running hot water and plunge into a glass of white vinegar for 15-20 minutes, then scrub. Do a few cycles until no more rust comes off in the rinse. Soak in soapy Dawn dish liquid and water to neutralize.
Paint on Rustoleum Rust Reformer into the pits. It will stop the active rust and turn black. Sand the blade to remove any excess staining and polish. The pits will be black, but rust free.
Nice work.
