I've never heard of ELMAX rusting or having a patina. That's why I'm slightly skeptical and worried that it could be rust.
Maybe you're just insane![]()
Could be from all the fricken corn I gotta pick.Maybe you're just insane![]()
I believe it is stainless.And Knotty, it may be rust. Is ELMAX stainless?
Even stainless can rust though....
It is stainless. Similar composition to S30V. Indeed all steels can rust. I know Elmax and M390 were specifically made for the plastic mold industry, where corrosion resistance is a big must. Mainly due to the chemicals in plastic.Aren't we all?

Hopefully I don't. I'm just going to continue to carry and use it and if anything else develops then I'll see about getting some Flitz.I never saw any sign of corrosion on my 0561. I hardy ever wiped the blade off unless there was food or something similar on it and it was fine. I doubt you have rust on your knife Daymon.
Do these spots look like rust? I can't really tell. They're in between the logo and the thumbstuds.

That's the factory stonewash. It looks like that because of the lighting.Is that stonewashed? It kinda looks like that acid wash thing people do to knives...
