kiahs.....not trying to drag anyone down or be disrespectful. Like others I just wanted to see how the different treatments affected different knives.
Then shut up and wait for some pictures.

So much ror trying to be polite.I'll wait for the pics.
I finally got time to post some photos. Here they are, and a brief description...
1. Mora Craftsman in carbon steel. Winner: FortyTwoBlades. As you can see, only the bevel was coated. I wiped the mud off the handle.
Here it is, ready to ship...
2. Mora Craftsman in stainless. Winner: Shore08. Mud wiped off.
Ready to ship out...
3. Buck 110 in nylon sheath. Winner: Munky 88. The bolsters had to be wiped down, as I dropped it in the mud. Nothing else was done to it...
About to be sent...
4. Mora S-1 in laminated steel. Unfortunately, the photos keep showing up as errors. I'm on it...
5. Opinel no. 9. Winner: trimcut123. Handle wiped down...
After using a Leatherman to open it...
Ready to be sent...
That's what's been won so far.

I'm surprised the Opinel held up so well. 1090 isn't known for rust resistance.

That opinel knive is quite interesting, anywhere to get one these days?
Quite a few places. They're really great cheap knives too. thin, well ground blades, VERY sharp. Sheeple friendly Everybody needs one. Think im going to get a boker subclaw for one handedness, and carry an opinel for public non-essential use. Not sure where you live, but Lee Valley hardware, Mountain equipment co-op, and House of Knives all sell them. I'm sure there are some online places as well. Look around, you'll find one. Make sure to get the high carbon one.

A lot of upscale kitchen stores sell them as picnic knives. You might try there. If you order online you might as well buy several at once. It makes the shipping worth it, and you'll be able to hide them all over the house like it's Easter all over again.
