i wasn't shootin down your post, bruce. doesn't take a psychic to know what it is you linked to. i think klink knows what rust is. i think you know what rust is. i think you know we all know what it is.

klink didn't say it wouldn't happen. he also took exception for those who live in damp climate. you linked him anyway. now i've clicked and what a surprise...iron oxide. i was just sharing a little on choosing sources for arguments. what do i know about arguments, though? just a guy with a philosophy degree.

these are blades that we buy for their ability to sustain extreme abuse. we buy them because they're capable of performing in scenarios we will never put them in. it's extremely attractive, despite being completely mindless and unrealistic. rust...oh no...we draw the line there.

NO! not a stain on my precious little trophy! no, please, mercy! don't force me to spend ten seconds rubbing my blade down, which i already do anyway since i love fondling it! i'll remove my own fingerprints, but not rust!!!
