Hi Ferdinand
 I have the same experience with my leatherman "Wave" but have also had
corrosion in my Swiss Army Knife.  The Leatherman had some spots of rust
after one outing on the sea. The rust only occurred where various parts
pressed closely together suggesting that the rust only occurred where there
was little or no oxygen.  The Swiss A K did not rust but corrosion seemed to
be between the dividers and the blades. I suspect its electronic corrosion.
I am taking more care now rinsing in fresh water and dosing with WD 40.
Regards Derek
