Restore or sharpen? Restoration of a knife takes an expert to analyze the knife and advise the best restoration method. Sharpening videos (many many videos) may be found on youtube but all involve three elements:
Patience. Sharpening a knife takes a considerable amount of patience.
Angle. The knife blade must be sharpened at a consistent angle (usually on both sides of the blade).
Task. A knife being used in the garden (such as a hori-hori) is sharpened different than skinning knife (such as an Ulu).

Better to use a wire brush or an emery wire brush on a circular grinder will take the rust off of it. Spray penetrating oil on it first then it will aid in some rust removal.

Also a Grind stone is a good sharpener with water as long as the knife is sharpened at the right degrees.

I have no idea as to what you mean by “restore” since you fail to mention the condition or damage to the knife in question. It may be a matter of simply polishing and sharpening the blade, or it may be a situation where you have so much damage that restoring it really isn’t an option. More information is required.

I usually use those combination sharpeners with a tool steel V on one side and a ceramic V on the other. They do well most of the time. I also give these to friends and family when I give them a knife as a gift.

I’ve also used the hydraulic strut on a cement mixer and steel tables. One guy here uses the edge of his car window.
These tricks just clean up the edge.
If you get your knife REALLY dull and you shouldn’t in the first place, you will need a whetstone and oil.
If your blade is nicked by very hard use or even electrical arcs, you will need a grinder. Be careful not to overheat the steel.
