Infi rust resistance

Hi,

This piece of Infi from this knife :

is outside (Canada) since May-2010. Infi with dimples surface tends to rust, but look at the satin finish resistance :thumbup: :

Looks like INFI could take a nice golden patina after a while.:thumbup:

Got any pictures of your finished mod?

That golden color you see is probably from the cutoff wheel he used to modify the blade (that portion got hot). And the satin portion of the piece didn't rust as quickly because the higher polish reduces the effective surface area for moisture to become trapped.

It's nice to actually see examples of INFI's resistance to rust .

Cool test on Infi, but this knife is just a beauty. :thumbup:

I left my stripped BWM stuck in a tree overnight while camping and woke up the next morning to heavy fog. Not a single spot of rust but the tip stuck in the tree developed a light bluish patina. I like INFI.

Very interesting. Thanks for posting this. Your project turned out great by the way.
