I am sure the grade of SS in your knife is quite dirrerent from the grade used in deck hardware. the carbon content (part of where the rust come from) is needed in knife construction to hold an edge. My wife had a rust proof diving knife. The blade was very fat and didn't hold an edge worth beans. Tho it never rusted it was worthless as a knife. steve Alder Creek Kayak & Canoe N 45º 39' 47" 250 NE Tomahawk Isle Dr. W 122º 36' 16" Portland, OR 97217 Web: www.aldercreek.com Phone: 503.285.0464 Email: aldercreek_at_qwest.net *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
