MBS-26 in salt water?

[johnniet]

I may be going on a multi-day kayak trip later this year. We'd be on the coast, stopping to camp overnight. There's no reason not to take 1 or 2 "real" kitchen knives for food preparation.
How does the MBS-26 hold up when exposed to salt water? How does it compare with VG-10 or AUS-8? 420J?

id like to know about MBS-26 myself, not only corrosion resistance, but also toughness, edge holding abitily, and ease of resharpening compared to other steels.

You can find the info that you're looking for HERE,
from none other than Poppa Spyder himself.

Hope this helps..

Thanks for the link. I'm impressed with what I hear.
Still wondering how it would do in salt water though.
