First post to this forum, very enjoyable to read everyone's posts. Had a question about the steel used in the old Standard model. Got mine in about 84 or 85 and it has been a very good knife, has never shown a trace of rust in all that time. Have not put the knife to hard use and periodically put a bit of oil on the spring mechanism. What type of steel is it? If I get another spyderco will probably want one with the same type of steel. I also have an Endura, got that in 96 or so, it hasnt shown any rust either BTW but for a knife to be going for 18 yrs or so and do as well as the Standard is , is impressive. I've had folders that have begun to rust after only a few months. I've had many knives over the years, sold almost all of them on consignment to raise money back in the 80s but always kept my Spyderco.
