--it is an old joke among Marines and Squids--.
I posted this because of my brother a Marine. Semper Fi-----I was an Airdale on the USS Forrestal cv59. this was posted in good fun .
Hahah, I knew it had to be that joke. Thank you to you and your brother for your service!
and oh yea, its actually going to be a RUST MAGNENT bc its made of SR101~ the coating might helping protect is a bit but the edge of the blade will rust fast if you leave it wet... and when the coating goes, all im going to say is .... KEEP THE KNIFE DRY!
Recon, your exaggerating to much. I'm trying to find this pic of a rat cutlery knife that's been used hard everyday in the wet jungle. Sure, they are rust prone then other Busse steel, but it's not as bad as you make it sound. I've left my 1095 steel knife wet in it's sheat for weeks. Besides some surface rust that comes right off, the knife is not affected.
