14c28n?

Several of the 14c28n blades are DLC, including Blurs, LE Skylines and Zings.

Random Task II is stonewashed.

Even with the beadblast I've never had any corrosion problems with my OD-1 even sweaty in my pockets or on the 99% humidity days we get here, like today

14c28n is a good steel. It holds a good edge, takes an edge easily, and takes a fine edge.
It's pretty wear/corrosion resistant as well, though I have seen some issues with the bead blast blades in this steel getting rust.
My Kershaw Knockout with the stonewashed blade has a beautiful edge on it, shaves hair with the best of them, and is pretty wear/corrosion resistant.
Also, when the edge starts getting dull I know I can bring it back to razor sharp super easy. =]

I love the nice high end steels, but have never had any issues or complaints with 14c28n.

Pretty much my exact experiences. I had a few little rust spots on my junkyard dog when it was left in my backpack in my jeep for a few days, but I have a pretty humid climate and they cleaned up easily. For me 14c28n is the easiest steel I've owned to get insanely sharp. After some moderate to heavy use, a few quick swipes on a 1000 grit ceramic stone and some stropping and its perfect again- and I don't think from fairly dull (nothing super dull) back to beyond razor sharp has ever taken more than 5 minutes.
