Do you have access to a glass bead sandblaster? If you do it will round off the pitting to a large degree then use Super blue and blue it then buff the heck out of it with 0000 steel wool. I mean tape it to a drill bit and use a drill gun or drill press and rub most of it off. Or sandblast and hit it with a fine steel brush on a grinder if you want to get rid of the pits, but if you want to keep the patina just hit it with a brass brush. It looks like the rust remover etched most of the patina off anyway. The steel brush will at least shine it up.

I did the bead blast and blue with a rusty Norwegian laminated blade and you couldn't see the pits after it was done and it shined too. For a kitchen blade you want to wear the blueing mostly off though as it will come off in acidic foods.
