But, what is this comment about stainless? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> You were just telling me how 0170-6 doesn't bother you with rust. A2 is significantly less prone to rust than 0170-6! A2 doesn't really rust very easily all, but it does patina pretty easily.
I try to take reasonable care of all my carbon steel knives, and they are ok, but if I could get the performance, they would ALL be satin stainless! In the smaller knives, you might use them for food preparation and such, and WD-40 just gives an off flavor. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />
