INFI...Phhhttt !!! SR77 rules !!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Hell yeah! BUT... SR77 corrodes much more than INFI! I've satined my S6 and got a bit carried away so I did the ricasso too. Bad mistake for 2 reasons- 1/the dimples and scars in the ricasso area, PITA to get out 2/I found brown powdery rust coming out from under the res-C grip!!!! It was about a mil wide and circular onto the ricasso. The blade was kept well oiled and always had a wet oil layer all over... MORAL- DON'T BUY YARD LE. Buy YARD CG then satin the bevels yourself. That way the black paint protects the bits that may/will rust and you still have a shiny, easy care blade. I still love my little rusty S6 though! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Rust sucks Paul but remember, even if the knife is rusted, the blade's toughness and strength is NOT lessened. it might not look as pretty but its still as [censored] tough. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

The SOD(F) is a great mid-size knife, I have only resisted this far because of my Basic 7, without that I'd have ordered a week or so ago with NO regrets!! Meantime my much loved and beat up S6 is getting some t.l.c. So far it's had a wire brush clean, large drink of Kurust to neutralize the problem area and finally a coat of epoxy glue to form a permanent* seal (* assuming the tin worm is licked!!). And I'd still take my S6 over anything else I've got- including my Badger and Basic 7!

Where is it you say the rust is developing in your S6 LE? Is it where the res-c meets the blade by the tang and water is seeping through?

My S6 was CG but I satined it as some black paint was off and I don't like black knives(!!). (It's a not freaking the sheeple thing, that and a not losing the knife thing..) The rust was on the ricasso area where the blade meets the res-C. It looks like there was a small area of rust that has formed under the res-C on the tang. As the res-C and black paint should be protecting the tang it came as a bit of a surprise! Still I've now dealt with the rust and hopefully normal service should be resumed! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crossfingers.gif" alt="" />

Thanks for the reply. I'm sure it'd be a bigger issue with the LE model, which is why I generally prefer CG.

I am not really sure how "Scrapyard blades rock" when the thread referenced is about Busse Combat. Seems to be a faulty conclusion.
