Rust is not good if there is a lot of it on the edge. Patina on the blade can be OK. Do they lie flat on both sides? And, what does the spine wear look like? Feel free to post pictures. I'm happy to provide an opinion (everybody has one ;-) ).

I'll get some pictures. The red rust I've seen is closer to the spine. Most of the edges are shiny and aren't showing rust or the black tarnish.

That's very good!
