Since SR101 wants to rust, why not help it out some? I stripped the coating and buffed it a bit. I kept it shiny with Tuf Cloth. Then Satan came into my head and convinced me to try giving it a patina. I used gun bluing and 0000 steel wool, after stripping all the protection I could with alcohol. I can always buff it out if I don't like it. Reminds me of my Mom's old butcher knife, which I kept sharp for her.
