You can imagine my shock when I pulled that Squatch out for comparsion photos. What the ...? I have never had any of my other INFI blades rust, so I didn't worry about it. What actually rusts is not the INFI itself, but the decarb layer left on the surface of the CE models after heat treating. In buffing off the rust, I lost my "Special Edition" and "Busse" marks. Maybe I'll sand it smooth and shiny. Or maybe I'll paint it! For now, I just oiled it and put back in the sheath. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> As for the S6, as much as I like mine, I prefer the SOD LE.
