Am I the only one?

[Glock 'em down]

I didn't know a knife would dull just by not being used. How is that even possible?

carbon steel good.
few licks on the butcher steel makem shave.
cut meat a couple years
stainless not my friend.
im just not good enough.
nickle is tough and corrosion resistant but relatively speaking ..soft
i know theres good ss out there.
im just too cheap i guess.

I read thru this and it caused me to think, why don’t broad heads suffer this? I wonder if a coat of cold blue along the knife edge would work?

Is this the model of knife? Disappointing performance of CruWear on new Adamas

No, that’s not the knife I have

Spend $20 and get a can of "Renaissance micro crystalline wax" to coat the blade. I've used it for a long time on knives, guns and other stuff.

Could it be tiny amounts of moisture in a pocket or the air causing micro rust on the edge?

I'm not a sharpener, but I've been told that shaving razors will become dull primarily from being put up wet, developing tiny points of rust along the blade. I dip mine in rubbing alcohol after a shave to clean it and dry it and they last longer.

I've carried a carbon steel pocketknife off and on for nearly fifty years. For quite a few years I carried an SS lockblade on my belt instead. The SS never got dull, but the carbon ones would - also the carbon springs turn black.

My dad carried the exact knife and his springs would be shiny from the wear in his pocket. The only thing I could figure was I either sweat more or have more acid that created a different reaction in the steel.
