I have numerous SAKs, Up until now, all have been made by Victorinox, however, I recently bought a Wenger Ranger. Gave it an initial sharpening with my Sharpmaker; it took an outstanding edge. A couple of hours later I noticed fingerprint rust marks....a very slight patina of rust. This has never happened with the Vnox knives. I'm wondering if the Wengers have a higher carbon content? Does anyone know? I don't mind the little bit of extra maintenance if they do...especially because I think higher carbon knives take a better edge, but I'm just surprised because I assumed that they were both made of virtually the same steel. Thanks
