BG42 vs S35VN

[Paul Davidson]

This is very interesting. I have three folders with BG-42 and have never had any corrosion issues. My favorite Small Regular is my most carried knife and I've never put any kind of rust preventative on the blade. I rinse it with tap water and let it air dry when it gets dirty and I don't have the time to break it down for a proper cleaning.

Do any of you all having pitting issues live near saltwater?

The BG-42 on the Small Regular has also been really chip resistant also. The only chip came when I screwed up and the edge hit a granite paving stone. At the time I couldn't look at the blade for a minute because I was sure my favorite knife was going to have a big chunk missing. Instead it only had a tiny chip, less than 1mm deep.

I must have gotten one with optimal heat treat. I will never sell that knife.

I bought a second LG Reg with BG42. It is in unused condition. It should arrive end of this week. I´m curious if it has also some pittings. I´ll report

It has arrived. The blade also shows some spots of shlightly corrosion but no pittings. Unfortunately not in unused but good condition

That sucks man. Hopefully you are still happy with it. Frustrating when you don't get what is advertised even if you would have done the deal anyway.
