I walked around a lot today and was pleasantly surprised when I initially saw no rust on my Iridium in D2 steel.

I guess the KPl Knife Shield could only hold on so long…

I grabbed the knife again to check and saw all the rust spots that formed.

Cleaning:

WD-4O wasn't enough.

I moved over to baking soda and water, which did the job.

    I like this blade protectant called Hoplon, I’ve never had any rust or anything like that, after using it.

    This is the main reason I generally avoid D2. My sweat seems to be extra corrosive or something.
