I've got a Boker that keeps rusting. I know when I was younger once carbon knives rusted a little and turned grey they would quit rusting. This knife is staying bright and rusting. Any ideas?

But first of all, don't post on the internet that your knife gets rusty in your pocket!
I'd rather die in a BAD gunfight than a GOOD nursing home.

I'd do a forced patina on it. Apple cider vinegar works well.

Very interesting. I don’t take any particular xtra steps to prevent rust. Living in the Humid South you’d think rust would be a problem ?
Truthfully, I don’t remember when I had trouble with a knife rusting. Serious.
Why do you think you are ? ?
My knives are Gerber, Buck, Camilus, Remington, Winchester, etc.
How close to the coast are you ? Salt water ?
Seems something strange to me.

Jerry His Boker is obviously high carbon steel.......I doubt that any of the knives you listed are...(maybe the Camilus???).

ultra or dura bore coat and maybe a short stint in the oven at low temp possibly? Whatever its called these days. Put in my MZ I fired about 3-4n shots in a junk TC barrel with REAL black one year and left it a year or. so. Was fuzz in the bore but never rusted at all when I cleaned it a year later. Test done on purpose and because TC thought that since the barrel would shoot 4-5 inches at 100 it was a perfectly fine barrel. Junk. LOL

I'd do a forced patina on it. Apple cider vinegar works well. I like lemon juice better, citric acid seems more controllable than acidic acid. A little heat on the metal and apply with a cotton swab or bit of paper towel.

A lot of trouble to make it look like it's been used some. For crying out loud....take it out and cut an apple or orange once in a while. Maybe a spud or two. Cut something now and then, and strop it on cardboard. Quit washing it with soap.
