Rust on Stainless Steel Utensils

If the metal is pitted there is not much you can do. I use regular household white vinegar to get rust off my tools. I cover the tool with it in a pan and let it soak overnight but it may be to strong for your purpose. Try it on something that is close to the same metal as you silverware to test it. I have used an ink eraser on stainless steel firearms. That was a good while back though. I looked for them recently and could not find anything close. If you have an old one somewhere it might work. 0000 steel wool will work. Finish it of by using Toothpaste or Happich Semichrome paste. Just put a little on a cloth rag and rub until the shine comes back.
 

I remember when buying silverware they would have the brand name, for instance Oneida.....then 18/10, referring to the stainless steel. (i could be off on the ratio), or some would say 12/10??? I may have seen it on stainless pots and pans too.

Was that some kind of indication of the durability/strength of the product, like mentioned above?
