S35VN and humidity

[Hermit_Knight]

Hey Bladeforums has anyone had any experience with using S35VN in humid areas or in summer? How did it hold up in regards to corrosion and did you need to put any protectorant on it? Thanks.

It's needs nothing. It's a great steel as long as it doesn't have a super pourous finish.

It’s dlc coated and spartan blades I’m not sure what kind of finish it is underneath.

Had to look up Spartan Knives. The fixed blade look B/A !! Haven't looked at folders yet. Which one do you have? And as far as the S35 steel, its fairly corrosion resistant, not "proof". if it get wet wipe it off maybe a rag with a bit of oil once in a while to wipe it down, nothing heavy. Just treat it with respect and it'll be fine.

Haven't had issues with in consistent 70%+ humidity even when uncoated. Including spartan

I have a horkos and a V-14 dagger with a tactical trout on the way. They have excellent quality control I really like them though I have not really taken the horkos out bush that much. I think I’ll put some mineral oil on them.
