I have had my large plain seb now for almost two years.
It has been through the mill, and still functions as good as the day I bought it. Well, the action is much smoother now so I guess it works better than new. Anyway the thing has been neglected on many occasions, and has been wet for days at a time with no cleaning or drying. This has led to staining, rusting, and yes even pitting of the blade (S30V). This knife being a workhorse, I decided to sand the rust off after failing to remove it with rust removers and steel wool. The plan was to sand it it a fairly high polish and leave it be. However, I have decided to take it to work tomorrow and bead blast the blade, handles, and clip all in one shot. I'll try to post pics if I can after I'm done with it. I am curious to see how it turns out.
Later, Jeff
