Mora carbon blade.

[Uncle Buck]

Just leave in a glass of distilled vinegar overnight to force a "Patina" on it (the blade turns black)
No more rust, give an occasional dip now and then.





Rgds, Buck.

Or rub a raw potato on it a few times. Soon gets the same and a lot easier to sharpen than Stainless.

Had half an hour to spare so gave this a go with some Frenchie's mustard I have in the cupboard for hot-dogs.

Turned out quite nicely I think.

I've done my Opinel now too, thanks for the link

Find the mora knives really good - have two for my bushcrafting (carbon steel) and a stainless fluro orange one for dressing game. Best thing to sharpen them at home I've found are the japanese waterstones (Buy Axminster Stone Pond with 3 Waterstones from Axminster, fast delivery for the UK) . Sharp as a razor, in the field I use fallkniven diamond/ceramic block things. I've also got an 8000 grit japanese waterstone for a nice mirror like finish.
