I was going through my mid-winter cleaning of some folders and I noticed that all of my Tri-Ad knives have rust? on the locksprings...I run a swab down the inside to clean out lint and crud and they all came out pretty red after touching the springs. I've got them coated in some ballistol now but that freaked me out since these knives are stored in a dehumidified, clean, locker.

#1: anyone else have rust on lockback springs? My Spydies and Bucks seem good?

#2: do you think rust on a spring would be an issue before 10-20 years?
