So my Regulator finally arrived! About a week ago to be precise, but I've been very busy as of late, so I haven't had a chance to post this. Pics will be up later, but for now I just wanted to get some advice!

I've never owned a carbon steel blade before, so I was kinda hoping you guys could give me some pointers for this SR-101 beauty! Any major do's/don'ts I should be aware of? I'm aware of SR-101's sensitivity to rust, and I've noticed some slight discoloring on the edge, does this mean it's time to sharpen or time to take it out and let the dog eat? I just want to make sure this awesome slab of manly steel lasts as long as possible, so any replies would be most appreciated!
