Rust

[Midget]

I understand the handles on Striders are coated with a pretty good material that makes it resistant to rust and corrosion and such.

How about the blade? is the blade resistant to rust at all?

The blades are sprayed with a rust ihibitor. This will aid the the prevention of rust. Strider knives will never pit from rust. The only rust you will see will be surface rust from salt water, rain, or anything else that would normaly cause rust. Keep your blade clean and do preventive maintance and you won't have to worry.

I gotta a funny rust story for yas! I finally got a S30V AR, I have been using and abusing the crap out of it and it never gives up. But low and behold, twice in one week, I was wearing the knife in my back pocket, when I dicovered that there was a streak of condensation on the inside portion of the blade due to my perspiration (I'm a carpenter). When I got home those two times, I noticed that in the course of the day, that condensation had caused some topical rust to accumulated under the condensation.
Now being a carpenter, I've been called everyname in the book by electricians, plumbers, rug munchers, I mean carpet layers, and every other trade out there. An Ass**** is a common one. Now they can include "Assrust"

I was watching "The Man Show" on Comedy Central the other night, and apparently there's a new product on the market that could help you out.

It's a flesh-colored substance called Crack Spackle-TM. You just apply with the special ass-ergonomic applicator, allow to dry, and no more embarassing carpenter's/plumber's crack.

I'm thinking in your case it may serve to seal the rust-causing ass-sweat from invading your AR. Probably worth a try!

Pray tell, Prof-man, does it come scented ?

...but if not, I reckon you could always mix a little potpurri in with it?

I can see Ive been gone too long...

Try eating more Mexican food. That way your ass sweat will be a lot more oily. Less prone to rusting.

or

Talk to Rob about how to brain-tan your ass. It didn’t work to well on the ASS-Sheath but maybe it will work for you.
