Carbon Steel Knives - How to Get Rid of Rust on Field! 

Very useful tip on knife cleaning. It can be so disturbing to see rust on your knife. Thank you. 🇬🇧

You taught me a new way to clean rust thank you for the tip great video

The Lansky Eraser is also excellent for rubbing off rust and stains. It has silicon carbide particles in the rubber compound. Flitz polishing paste or a competitor to do the final polish.

Super Genial, kann man überall anwenden, hilft auch im Haushalt weiter , Der Natur sei Dank 🤞👍🤤

I use Vaseline, blue top, in Kansas! Thanks for nfo.

Use a little machine oil (3in1) with the wet and dry sand paper as it works better and wipe a little 3in1 oil on the blade before you put it back into its sheath and it’ll stay in better condition.

Great video man. Great idea and thanks for sharing.

Terävä knives are the best. Simple sturdy and handy. Greetings Varusteleka you guys and gals are the best.

I always put a little mineral oil on my knifes, it's food friendly and can be found almost anywhere .

I really enjoy your videos. Your dog is awesome! Thank you for the great content. Best wishes from Australia

Nice vid! Thank you for the advice ;)

Thanks Simon, now you've got me watching Frosty's channel.😉🇨🇦💖 Great video as always.

I after cleaning wipe the blade with a little olive oil. Good tips.

I was told by a old,old blacksmith , many years ago . . ." Always put grease on your blades to prevent oxygen getting to the metal" . . . I always use Vaseline, and always take a tube/tub of it with me when going into the woods. Additionally , tons of folk dry their knives but put the knife away in a damp leather sheath. Always dry a leather sheath and wipe out and dry plastic sheaths. Happy Trails Folks.

Found your channel fantastic from the UK 🇬🇧

Good video. Keep your knives in good condition!

I Liked your video very much, 👍 and understood your English very well, GOOD JOB ,

hey brother great video , I love learning something new . I subbed

Cheers!!! Nice tip

0000 steel wool soaked in oil will remove rust like butter. Have fixed firearms with this combination & it doesn’t hurt the blueing.

Great video!

Good info 🤠

Thanks for sharing, I have one and it has rusted from the dishwasher, so I will try your method.

Hello, great video,on my first pukko 140,I experienced some rust not much,I stuck mine in a glass of vinegar,worked perfectly,then washed off my blade an coated it with frog lube I ordered, nontoxic an biodegradable,just wipe off blade before use food prep wise an other stuff,if you use it after wiping blade down an gets wet,you'll notice water repels off exceptionally well,so just to know,also steel wool will when using on your blade is safe an won't scratch your blade unless your not worried of that,I try to take care of my knives an skrama,I love these tough blades I got from Finland much like yours,ty just thought I'd share some info with you.

I'm right there with you on carbon steel.....which I call a "working man's steel". I use baking soda and water formed into a paste with some copper or steel wool to get the rust off. I also put a thin layer of Ballistol on the blade if I'm going to store it away for a while. A nice enough patina on carbon steel mitigates most of the rust as long as it's kept dry when not in use.

i have had a knife that would start rusting in under and hour of getting went, .... i got fed up and soaked it in vinegar to force a patina ... after which it no loner rusts.

My Jaakari puuko's edge chips like crazy.. I've reprofiled it, same results. I reprofiled again, removed more steel, still chips like crazy, even if I only make feathersticks. I know the nature of the scandi edge, I'm also make money sharpening knives for the last 20 years, so I'm 100% sure, I got a really poor heat treated blade. By the way, nice tips there! Ballistol oil is a good option to avoid rust.

I wipe mine with ballistol soaked shammy for storage. And a thin smear of Vaseline ( usually taken from my fire starter tin ) when in the field.

Lol I bought one of those hefty Smith and Wesson border guards. It's painted black in some sort of special paint or coating. I think it's this same metal in the video, but I'm not sure, But whatever it is, it might be worth looking into cause I live in nova Scotia and the salt in the air is INSANE. I left a bunch of tools in a bag most of them were "stainless steel" and they all had rust/corrosion on them, but not the border guard Smith and Wesson knife. It was completely covered in salt. I could not believe it, but there it was. I brushed some salt off and it was fine underneath. Completely preserved. The knife was fine, but everything got rust on it. That was absolutely insane. I still got that knife. Even lost a couple other folders in there lol

I always carry steel wool when I go hiking. Since you can use it to start a fire, believe it or not. I guess though, I am lucky to live in a dry climate. Mostly I have to quickly clean my knives after I use them in the kitchen. I don't even like patina on my knife. I'm strange that way.

Logical!

Super video!! What kind of radio do you have on your Savotta?

Good job Simon! My favorite pocket knife is the Spyderco Pacific Salt with the H1 steel for its corrosion resistance. Using the finer grits of carborundum sandpaper is what I use also. If one wants/needs to add oil, it should be vegetable based especially if using the knife for food prep, Balistol is also a good choice. I always force a patina on my blades to further protect it from rust.

👍👍👍

Like your vid. Did you ever try boiled linseed oil on your blade? I used a product called Penetrol which is a paint additive and boiled linseed based for corrosion protection on alot of my metal aka high carbon knives and my own vehicle and it dries clear and works great.

Hi thank you very much for the video, I have a 1095 steel, if I don't use it and it's in the cabinet, do I need to oil it

Nice video man. Personally, I consider stainless steel to be the superior material compared to carbon steel for this very reason, especially considering that modern types of stainless steel can surpass many varieties of carbon steel in performance, so IMO, using carbon steel only leads to wasting time on maintenance.

Oil is a steel's best friend 💯

Leave the blade in Brunox gun oil overnight and the rust is gone. Polish it a little and you're done.

you can also use CLP instead of using sanding paper

Can you please tell me how long are those vertical openings on the sheat? I'm interested if 25mm webbing strap can fit through. Excellent video btw

Good English. Fun vid!

Prijatelju tek sam sad otkrio tvoj kanal ...odličan kanal. Da slučajno nećeš praviti recenziju verzije od 85 mm mini puko? Pozdrav iz hercegovine

I would love to see you sharpen that! What do you use to sharpen knives? I love you videos!

i have a question. why people dont blueing their carbon knife like guns. i did to one of my carbon knife. i think its pertty good. Why almost no one did it. is there anything bad for a knife i didnt know

I just do few strokes on Naniwa 3k and the rust is gone in seconds and also the edge just got little sharper.... win win

I've got a few cheap (but tough) Schrade survival knives in 1095, that pretty much never rust. Take the scales off (if you can), and soak the blade in really hot vinegar. You'll get a nice patina on it, very quickly (and a lot more uniform, than trying to use mustard). Oh, forgot to say, to take off the coating, first. I put a bunch of jasco on it, then scraped it all off, then washed it before doing the vinegar thing. Just do it outside, folks. It smells really bad.

Where did you get the kydex sheath?

Just slap some mineral oil on it.

Nice Video! Which Knive is this? Regards from Germany

👍👍👌😁🙏Brilliant channel , where the hell is Cairo

If you have access to sand, just rub some into the rust with your finger

Patina can be beautiful. I force patina my carbon knives. 🔪🎸

Jesi li svoj puukko naručio direktno preko Varusteleke ili preko neke druge stranice,i kako si zadovoljan s njime?

Nooooooooooo! I use the rust as seasoning when doing food prep!!!

I hear people on forums cry about rust They are evem discounting and shunning the knife because it rusted " omg i went on a canoeing trip in alaska and my 1095 rusted, its garbage! News flash sweetheart everyone's carbon steel knives rust, youre nothing special All throughout history everyone's blades rusted up, but they used it off, rubbed it off and cleaned it off and went at it again Thats how carbon and tool steel works, most of the world will never have stain of the art cnc machining capable pf producing super steels so you will be stuck with good ol 1055, 1075, and 1095 on a good day Remember most of the world cuts with rusted knives

listening to that sandpaper on my headphones, unbearable pain

I put gun blue on my plades

If you were to acid soak in a mild acid like vinegar and get a patina on it it wont rust..............

👍👍👍🔪

I know. Get a stainless! It's not 18th century!!🤦‍♂️

what was the video about? the knife will rust again
