I was wondering if anybody has used an SK-5 blade in a humid environment or wilderness environment for an extended period. Does the stuff take up rust fast? What if there is citric acid or blood involved?

IIRC the new blades in SK-5 from Cold Steel don't have a coating anymore. The Gurkha Kukri, the Trail Master and the Laredo Bowie are all uncoated, but I'm not sure bout the Recon Scout. The coating went, prices went up a little...The SK-5 blades are all coated if I'm not mistaken, so you only have to worry about the edge.
