How is your D3V holding up against patina/corrosion?

This spot on my UF2 (which I beat like a rented mule) is the only spot of corrosion I've seen on any of my D3V knives. I noticed this after the UF2 had been put away wet after a rainy camping trip then forgotten about in the car for a couple weeks.
My D2 skinner also has a slight patina after cutting meat and veggies. (I'll add pic later)


I love this knife so much

Bring back the skinner.

Bring back the skinner.

In D3V and D2!

Another "user" here.


I bought my first "basic" SDFK, in the Fall of '22, with the sole purpose of beating the absolute SH!T out of it. Over three "hunting seasons", it has seen everything from splitting/prepping firewood, to separating whitetail joints (*when loaned to one of the hunters "quartering" their harvest), to cutting fajitas/polish sausage/bacon/steaks/veggies/etc. on the grill "table".

It has been left-out on the woodpile overnight (*sometimes in the rain), like a $20 Chinese-made "Walmart" fixie, more times than I can count. It has also spent many-a-night on the grill table (*again, sometimes in the rain) with vegetable remnants, blood, sausage and bacon fat, and steak and fajita juice on it. (*not to be mistaken with my obese/senior puppy-dog, who I often refer to as "Fajita Juice")

Other than a few slight "love marks" on the finish, it still looks like the day that I received it.


My take? "Use MORE, worry LESS."

Just my humble opinion. Your mileage may vary.

Moisture will creep under the scales. If it’s a user, renaissance wax under the scales for piece of mind. I’m weird like that.

Only like that?
