How deep is the discoloration? This steel puts us, as makers, in a very interesting place. The stain resistance is pretty good but the material is so hard to finish that we have to use a finish like sandblasting or bead blasting. For added stain resistance Chris and I KG GunKote the Yarborough and Green Beret knife blades. The problem with a sandblast finish is that when the blast medium is recycled it also has pieces of metal in it, these are shot at high pressure back onto the surface of the blade and some imbed there. This can cause a mild electrolysis to happen on the surface, which we read as stain or rust. What kind of rattlesnake did you cut up for chow anyway?
