[@STUFFWEDO]

Thanks for watching Nic. Said like that I sound like a badass. Have a super week

[@yayayayodayoga]

I'm considering picking up a Damascus blade. It concerned me to hear that they rust without maintenance. Thanks for your video!

[@STUFFWEDO]

Thank you for watching Carl. Civivi has a few Damascus blades in the 9cr range that is stainless but otherwise it is going to rust.

[@noel5826]

Don't buy one. They are high maintainance and overrated. Stick with stainless steel.

[@chaoswitch1974]

They rust with maintenance. They just rust.

[@JollyPeanut]

That looks like a good way to store knives that are prone to rust , I know i have one or two that are slowly rusting away now the tricky bit for me is finding where I left them..👍

[@STUFFWEDO]

That also happens occasionally. Thank you JP appreciate you watching.

[@Youtubecansuckmycock]

My carved knoves the huntsman and the field knife are rusting. Its super disappointing considering they were $450 and $230….

[@michaelmyers1393]

Thanks! I've got a few damascus knives. One was getting rust. This worked great for cleaning it.

[@STUFFWEDO]

I'm glad it helped, and thank you for watching.

[@AxisDSTC]

Thank you so much sir. This helped alot!

[@STUFFWEDO]

Thank you very much for watching

[@frederikmare9002]

Stunning knife and video thanks 👍🤝🍻

[@STUFFWEDO]

Thank you Frederik you are a very kind person.

[@Strix1213]

Thank you for making this video, I'm trying to research ways to restore the karambit i spent $100 USD on because I just pulled it out of the sheath and the entire edge is rusted.

[@STUFFWEDO]

I hope it is not too far gone and I hope it helps. Thank you for watching

[@evilspacech1cken]

Literally just pulled mine out of the sheath today after probably a month or so of not touching it and was like “wtf who got this soaking wet and put it back in the sheath”😂

[@SeaGooseAB]

Thank you. I just picked up a Damascus blade and it has this exact problem! I was going to use dubbin or some mink oil on the blade to seal it. Thank you again for this information!

[@STUFFWEDO]

Thank you for watching CG. I am glad I could help.

[@classifiedagent8807]

After cleaning i use carnauba car wax for protective coating. Works well and knife will not rust easily anymore.

[@STUFFWEDO]

Thank you for the information, and I will give it a try. Have a great weekend

[@beraetuestarz3696]

You got a suggested oil?

[@moistcheez6333]

Do you possibly know what kind of steel wool you used? I think I heard you say fine or coarse, I accidently bought super fine wool and it is not getting the job done.

[@PatchCornAdams723]

Would it be better to use steel wool soaked in mineral oil? I use steel wool cleaning products on my job (on mostly glass and stainless steel), and our number 1 rule is it has to be super wet or else it will scratch. I'm looking this up to try to fix my Damascus steel sword. I am devastated to see rust on it. 😕

[@STUFFWEDO]

I am sure very fine Steel wool and mineral oil will work. Good luck and thanks for watching

[@frederikmare9002]

I use wax paper, it also works great!

[@STUFFWEDO]

Wax paper is the smarter thing to do. I was too lazy to go and look for some.

[@newvision1665]

This guy is hilarious!!!!

[@nicnoel4961]

Not a huge fan of the sheath shove tho, probably will warp it n she’ll be loose

[@zarynt1089]

Damascus steel is super annoying to maintain. Cleaned and oiled my knife generously. Put it into a water free oiled sheath. Took it out months later and the entire blade is covered in rust. You would think I soaked the whole thing in water after washing it with soap and put it away. I guess the blade has to be wrapped in plastic but that just seems ridiculous.

[@STUFFWEDO]

It is very annoying but today there are people and places that make Stainless steel Damascus. If that is more your thing

[@chaoswitch1974]

It does need to be wrapped in plastic. When I received mine, they were soaked in oil and wrapped in plastic. I oil mine regularly and they still get super rusty. It's a pain.

[@chaoswitch1974]

It only takes a couple days to rust
