Anyone here ever use them?
I built a display case for my knives and started putting them in it last night.
I pulled out the last Damascus from it's sheath and it was covered with surface rust. I know I probably shouldn't have left it stored in the sheath, but never dreamed it would have rust on it from only a month or so in the sheath. I don't know how moisture could have gotten into the sheath as it was in the house, but somehow it did.
Second question, does 01 have the potential to rust after it has been heat treated?
I know the cut off pieces from the few I've ground tend to rust rather quickly, but will they still rust after the heat treating?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
