Got a brand new strider smf from recently drop. Just find the blade surface seems all rusted. Already tried WD40 and flitz but both not working. Does anyone has same issue ? Does anyone can help me ?

cant see your pic in the link cause I dont have the reddit app....and I'm not downloading it.
depends how deep the rust is...surface it should come off easily with flitz or wd40. if it's rust pitting it's not gonna come off with either product and just wiping.
can ya post the pics here with a 3rd party app that isn't social media hosted where one needs an account to view?

I'm not seeing what I'd call rust on the videos, but I am watching on a phone not a big computer screen. what I see you pointing at looks like a stripe over spray a bit pattern....but doesn't seem like rust. now maybe in person the reddish rust coloring pops out better than in the video?
I can send you some pictures. Because I don’t have any experience with strider tiger stripe finish before. I couldn’t tell if is rust or not. Can I get your email?

I'd prefer not to share my email on the wide open forum here....just open a 3rd party free photo hosting site and link the pictures here.....
imgur works and various others, just pick one....
Here is it

I have a big screen and enhanced on the pics but couldn't see any rust. With all respect, are you sure that you are not mistaking the tiger stripes for rust stripes ?

I see what Daven means : there are small dark dots on the dark pattern of the stripes. However I am not sure that they are rust pits.

That looks like some small stains on the blade (not rust).

I can't believe people still buy the lying wannabes knives.
