Made a kydex sheath friday for the Dogfather. I had just rinsed out some of the gunk from sanding, slipped the DF in to check fit when I get a call from the Lady that her oil pressure light is beeping and there is a strange sound coming from the engine bay....24 hours later....Its looking like its about to rain so I head outback to clean up my work space and this is what I found:

No complaining here, just sharing. I was a bit surprised at the coverage and speed of corrosion so once i get it cleaned up I'll have to run a control test to see what it really takes. There was still a little bit of masking tape residue on the edge which may have held onto moisture and accelerated the process.

That edge is raw steel so you will get staining and rust if you do not oil it. I would simply strop it to remove the stain. If you do not have a strop I would use fine steel wool or do my favorite...take it chopping to shine up the edge.
