Bringing a question that I opened via PM up for discussion:

Bill,

I used the T2 CPM-S30V last weekend to cut some meat and now the blade appears to have rust spots and some pitting going on, it has the Bead-Blasted Finish. What can I treat this with other than polishing it with something like Simichrome and a toothbrush or Nev-R-Dull?? Can it be Passivated in something like a Salt Bath or some Chemical Treatment ?? Does this steel tend to do this, that easily ?? I'm coating it with LPS 2 until I know how to properly treat it.

Take care.
Martin
