Camillus Talon 154CM

[Sender]

I had to have one, now the long wait until April . . .
The blade shape, and the handle style -really nice. Glad to see a version in my price range.

Are there any special rust precautions to take with the 154CM?

<font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">ATS-34 - 154-CM
The hottest high-end stainless right now. 154-CM is the original American version, but for a long time was not manufactured to the high quality standards knifemakers expect, and so is not used often anymore. Late-breaking news is that high-quality 154-CM may again be available. ATS-34 is a Hitachi product that is very, very similar to
154-CM, and is the premier high quality stainless. Normally hardened to around 60 Rc, it holds an edge very well and is tough enough even at that high hardness. Not quite as rust resistant as the 400 series above. Many custom makers use ATS-34, and Spyderco (in their high-end knives) and Benchmade are among the production companies that use it.</font>

Rust on satin finished 154-Cm?

Just keep it relatively clean and it will not rust.

Its not RUST proof, but satin-finished its pretty corrosion resitant.

Try a Tuf-Cloth...its what Camillus recommends.
