    That looks like a good way to store knives that are prone to rust , I know i have one or two that are slowly rusting away now the tricky bit for me is finding where I left them..👍

    After cleaning i use carnauba car wax for protective coating. Works well and knife will not rust easily anymore.

    Damascus steel is super annoying to maintain. Cleaned and oiled my knife generously. Put it into a water free oiled sheath. Took it out months later and the entire blade is covered in rust. You would think I soaked the whole thing in water after washing it with soap and put it away. I guess the blade has to be wrapped in plastic but that just seems ridiculous.

    • @STUFFWEDO
      @STUFFWEDO  11 місяців тому

      It is very annoying but today there are people and places that make Stainless steel Damascus. If that is more your thing

    • @chaoswitch1974
      @chaoswitch1974 4 місяці тому

      It does need to be wrapped in plastic. When I received mine, they were soaked in oil and wrapped in plastic. I oil mine regularly and they still get super rusty. It's a pain.

    Do you possibly know what kind of steel wool you used? I think I heard you say fine or coarse, I accidently bought super fine wool and it is not getting the job done.

      Thank you for watching Carl. Civivi has a few Damascus blades in the 9cr range that is stainless but otherwise it is going to rust.

    • @noel5826
      @noel5826 5 місяців тому +1

      Don't buy one. They are high maintainance and overrated. Stick with stainless steel.

    • @chaoswitch1974

      They rust with maintenance. They just rust.

    Would it be better to use steel wool soaked in mineral oil? I use steel wool cleaning products on my job (on mostly glass and stainless steel), and our number 1 rule is it has to be super wet or else it will scratch. I'm looking this up to try to fix my Damascus steel sword. I am devastated to see rust on it. 😕

    • @STUFFWEDO

      I am sure very fine Steel wool and mineral oil will work. Good luck and thanks for watching
