I acquired an old tobacco cutter, same model-type as shown here:

But mine the blade is all rusty as shown below, so I am hoping for some advice on a good method to try to get it close to be as shiny, if possible, as the one pictured above. I took a wire wheel brush to it already but it still has the brown rust tarnish pretty ugly in the metal. Any advice on a good method to try to get it shinier would be appreciated:
Here's a photo of my cutter machine, blade removed. Any advice on getting the machine body "purdied" up some too would also be great.
As well, comments on proper method(s) of getting my old blade sharpened correctly to get a proper sharp edge. I suppose a wet stone but I'm certainly not experienced with sharpening blades much. Thanks
