Just pulled out my Cold Steel CarbonV Trailmaster Bowie after not looking at it for a long time.
Rust spot ! port side of blade less than dime size, it is polishing out, have no idea how it got there.
If you have not seen your blades in a while , get them out and look at them, this is a bummer.

Good idea.......A little Fluid Film or WD40 would go a long way to avoiding that....

Wait a minute! Rust? In the desert? It sure enough happens. Triple T's suggestion is the solution.

Idiot,
I don't know how, the humidity is the same at your place as at mine,
I think the sheath got a wet spot on it.

Do not store knives in sheaths, not good idea. Same as firearms, they can rust.

LeftyDude,
This one got misplaced for an extended period of time, I have a girlfriend that "thinks " she needs to put my stuff away!?

Carbon V is very highly susceptible to rust; been there, experienced that, and I did not store in in the sheath. I had used a product called Birchwood Casey Sheath on it, before it rusted. After I polished out the little rust flowers, I used a light application of cold blue to give the blade a bit of a weathered, antique finish. A friend liked the knife with that look, so I sold it to him.

Wives do that, too!

Rexster,
How did it look?
I have never liked the shine on that blade.

Hobie,
Yeah, but this one is one of those radical feminists.
If I yelled at her, and after I got back from the ER, & the proctologists had removed her shoe, I might get a chance to apologise.

Didn't you see the movie man? Love means never having to say you're sorry.

I have some pics to share whith you of Alaska and a Mule Deer taken off of my property last week. My neighbor shot the deer while I was flipping steaks on the grille

...He's a big one 6x6....I'm waiting for my neighbor to e-mail the pics. I haven't forgot...

That was so long ago, I am not sure. IIRC, I gave it a light application, and wiped it way fairly quickly, so it would not be very dark. I think I may have been following some directions with the specific intent of just giving it a antique-ish look. I may have even pre-treated it with something else first. The shine was pretty much gone after I put a now-forgotten grade of steel wool to the blade. Sorry, can't be more specific.

Oh, BTW, I did not pre-treat with lemon juice. I did read about using lemon juice to "age" carbon steel, but that was well after I sold off the Cold Steel Trailmaster.

mescalero1's knives:

my drooling light have something to do with the rust spot!

Bowies and bigger Bowies.

Old Savage,
Look at the other knives post.

Old Ironsights · Post by **Old Ironsights** » Mon Oct 20, 2008 8:00 pm

Just got a catalogue in the Post today...

These go for $5-$7 each. Flexible, uber-sharp little knives. This is what the Processors (& I)use when a stiff blade isn't required.

Ever since I started using Ballistol (love that stuff!) for cleaning up after Black powder I've noticed it does a good job keeping rust off my knives too, and it's supposed to be good for the leather sheath. Just before hunting season I wash them off and wipe them down with Olive oil. I like Ballistol but not enough that I want dressed out deer meat to taste like it.
