I have given my rmd some fair use, mostly a looot of light things around the house and once or twice somewhat abusively to test if what i have read about sr101 toughness was true. The edge was fine for a while with ni corrosion. But within the past week (for unknown reasons) it has built up a grey/light black rust(?) I think.... that now covers almost the entire exposed edge and almost looks like dirt.
I personally like the look of it and its broke in character but i am curious as to if it will affect the performance? Being that it exists on the edge itself, can that affect its retention or strength?
And what is a good way to remove it? In its early stages when it was barely significant in size, i tried rubbing it off with a scotch-brite but it got to the point where the edge was cutting into the S-Brite to no avail.
I prefer to get it off and add a patina so to remove the potential for tetanus to form and so that it can be used in the kitchen...
Ps..i use mineral oil when storing it and keep it in its sheath.
Do you have experience with anything that works more effectively than mineral oil?
I can post pictures tomorrow if any of the answers to these questions depend on photos.
Thanks in advance.:thumbup:
