I agree with the education bit Bruce...but it is amazing how some "posts" undermine reputations...a guy on B/F posted that his Infi had distorted at the edge when hitting a knot in wood...many said the profile was too thin...it took a while to establish it was too thin...but in the meantime as Jerry said in the post...some things could be "irresponsible"...meaning it could damage the reputation of his knives...postulating that some "finishes" are likely to create a rust problem is IMO a sort of "risky" thing for Dan...a D/C finish is a good one...so is a coated finish and so is Satin...they all have pro's and Con's but none remove the need to care for a Tool Steel knife. On that point I definately agree with you...and it is fairly easy to do as well!
