Interesting handle.

I suggest you try some Loctite Extend rust treatment. It is also marketed under the Permatex brand, also called Extend, at NAPA stores. It needs a rusty surface to work properly. Just get the loose stuff off with a wire brush as you are doing. It can be brushed on (preferably) or a roller used. I would not recommend spraying it. My limited experience with spraying the stuff has not been good; it can gum up a good gun in no time flat. It goes on in two coats and turns a jet black. I did a trial section on an old rusty dump body of mine two years ago. I never topcoated it (it was a trial, afterall). It has been outside in the weather constantly. Still no signs of any rust showing through. It looks real good and I think would be appropriate for your application.

Here's some on-line information about the product.

That stuff looks interesting. Looks like it would be a good primer for an old plow or other equipment. Am I right?

Sure, it should work well for that. I have a pair of pick-up plows for my AC-B that need such a treatment. I wouldn't go to the trouble of sandblasting, etc so I am thinking of doing mine that way. Trouble is time and that is a low priority project.
