If i put this on my Kershaw 1555TI will it rust if it is sumerged in water for long periods of time? AKA a river for tubing?

I seriously doubt it. If it was carbon steel there might be a chance, but I have never seen stainless rust in fresh water after being treated with tuf glide.

You should be fine as long as you thoroughly dry the knife after getting off the tube. Rust will occur if the knife is left wet and exposed to the air. The TUF-Glide offers protection but it is not fool proof so take the time to protect your knife.

I have not tried that, but Sentry makes a Marine version of Tuff Glide that would be a better choice . They claim that Navy Seals use it on their equipment

Tuf Glide is a lubricant and not a rust inhibitor so I dont this using this on your Kershaw will keep it from rusting.

I am of the opinion that a fresh water soak after completely dousing the knife in oil will probably be alright. You will have to take any scales off afterwards to oil and let dry out as areas like that will be most susceptible to rust.

I see people posting pictures of this knife rusted... THIS IS A HIGH CARBON STEEL this means that without proper oiling it will rust very easily. This knife if used daily should be cleaned weekly and oiled. If you get it wet it needs to be thoroughly dried and oiled.

Yes. Actually, any carbon blade will rust if you get it wet and don't wipe it off. You can prevent the rust by simply using a light oil like mineral oil on the blade only for this knife. If it does get light rust on it, you can take it off with a sand paper like 400 or 600 grit. If you go perpendicular to the edge with the sandpaper, it will look new again.

After a few years use, the blade itself has no rust, but the recessed screw area and portions of the handle definitely has rusted badly. It has never been in the dishwasher, but I rinse it after each use. It works easily and smoothly and I thought by getting one of the most expensive brands, it would not rust, so I am disappointed.

To prevent rusting before putting the blade away make sure it is clean and dry and you should be alright.

I use it for cutting sculpting clay and haven't washed it, if it is stainless steel it shouldn't rust.

A few of my knives started to rust almost immediately after I received them (that is with me oiling them regularly). Another showed up with rust already on it. The craftsmanship is nice but I question the quality of this blade no question.

Mine is only a couple months old so no rust. Shouldn't though cut its bronze coated. I use mine on a wood deck. No scorching. I keep the deck wet while burning.

Thats just preservative that they coat the blade with for storage (nobody wants to buy a rusty cutting-tool). It will evaporate or dry up when you use it. You will probably need to scrub the blade with gun-oil or WD-40 every so often anyway, after its been used.

No! This knife is made of carbon steel and will rust. There are other versions of this same knife such as this one (http://www.amazon.com/Mora-Companion-Stainless-Steel-Fixed/dp/B004ZAIXSC/ref=pd_sim_sg_8 ) in stainless that would be much better suited for use around salt water.

I would not be concerned about the razor rusting. I would advise getting high quality blades such as persona so the blade does not rust. The blades are available online at Amazon or at Sally's.

I have had no problems with rusting, but as any metal exposed to the weather you should treat it as you do your weapon.

The edge of the blade is D2, a wonderful tool steel, I believe and yes the edge will rust if not cared for and protected with a high coating of oil. I love this knife and the edge that D2 will hold.

I've had this cleaver for almost 2 years. Never had any issues. Been very happy with it. Try polishing it with a pumice liquid. Maybe first try polishing with toothpaste and sponge. Or a very fine grit wet sandpaper? 1000 grit? Then wiping down with a vegetable oil. I use it, wash it and put it away. Never have seen any rust. Good luck

I've never had a problem with rusting. But...I wash my knife immediately after use, dry it and put it away.

Hello Kim, this is a tough knife made with black oxide materials, and it does resist corrossion pretty well in wet weather. However, we do recommend to keep the knife clean to maintain its life spend. Hope this helps. Many blessings, BlizeTec

Any 'stainless' steel will rust, it just stains/rusts *less* than regular steel. So if you don't clean your gear after use or store it in a damp place, it will eventually rust.
