How heavy? Carry one in each hand? Steel...will be used at shore house...any rust?

The set is fairly heavy, but very sturdy. Only used one season at the shore and holding up good so far. Much better than the previous flimsy plastic set we had prior.Carrying canvas bag very handy.

I carry both sets assembled but with both hands. It has a carrying case and I can carry it with one hand but it's heavy. I live in a dry climate so I don't know if it would rust. I love my set. There are VERY well made.

Light enough to carry one in each hand or even both in the same hand if you are capable. I would assume that as long as the paint (powder coating?) isn't chipped off, it would be fine at the shore.

fairly light no problem carrying one per hand but still so much more stable & durable than the plastic model fun game we sometimes play with the weak hand only, and even have an eyes closed game sometimes good luck have fun

The detailed center is very flexible..not a trait of stainless steel. I have not experienced rust though.

very sturdy and heavy, it is full tang. Not sharp out of the box but that can be remedied

I wear mine as a neck knife and it is subject high humidity aka sweat. I never get any rust so it is worth it for me. Will you miss the twenty dollars in a year? You will enjoy the additional quality for a long time. It's a great knive good luck.

I use this knife daily and never have I seen signs of rust. It must be stainless.I highly recommend the knife, just keep it sharp and it will replace almost all other knives in the kitchen.

Its made out of steel. I don't think you would have any problems but maybe a little rust after a while. If your concerned put some sort of cover over when your not using. Very steady and well worth the money.

I believe they are stainless but Im not absolutely sure .. I have several and they have never rusted on me ... Just keep them dry and you should be O.K. R.E.I. has a better version (longer fulcrum for better leverage) but they cost a few bucks for 2 rather than a few bucks for 5 .. If you don't have arthritis then the P-38s here are a better buy .. I also went and bought a couple of cheap can openers at the grocery store and put in with my prepper stuff .. Check out You Tube .. They have some pretty good answers .. Didn't have time to listen but they look really good ...

Greg: Its cheep steel, mine is completely rusted away in less then a year. I do keep it outside.

I think salt water will eventually corrode any metal shovel; however, this shovel is so compact (ideal for metal detecting), very robust and sturdy. My guess is it will last years before it needs to be replaced. Besides perhaps your husband will find some treasure long before the shovel rusts out, and you both will be living on a tropical island in the Caribbean. Be sure to take the shove with you!

Send it back. I had mine for just a few months and it rusted. I had it in my house and nowhere near water. It's junk.

yes, Don't let that deter your purchase. Being in a wet environment it will not rust or corrode.

I still use my everyday. I don't have any rusting issue what so every. I have been using my everyday since I got it. The inside still looks new.

so far this blade has been very rust resistant. I've used this hatchet quite a bit so the factory finish has worn off. I've left the hatchet outside several times and it has been rained on. So far, no issues with rust. Its a great hatchet and is still very sharp

It is heavy steel so I would suggest buying one with a fiberglass or wooden handle I did not throw it it is for breaking into things or chopping things

It is 1075 steel so not a lot of chrome content. So not a stainless steel. I wouldn't wear it in water. Not sure why you'd need to really. I'd leave it with my pack on the shoreline and then go get it if I found I really needed it. But again not sure why you'd need to extract anything or bust down a door in the middle of a stream.

It is lightweight, so I think it is aluminum -- steel would be much heavier. It hasn't rusted at all.

Depends on how you would hold and use it. The finger guard could get in the way if the knife is held in almost a horizontal position. A stainless steel version is better for kitchen use. Much less fuss as you don't have to worry about rust.
