I’m new to this forum and new to collecting Randall’s. I have acquired a few and would like to use one as a fishing knife in saltwater. In my earlier years I was a diver and every knife I used would rust to varying degrees although these knives were relatively inexpensive and it isn't clear what steel was used. I recently acquired and used a knife made from CPM S30V stainless in saltwater and it would spot within a few hours of getting dunked in the surf. To those who currently use their Randall knives in saltwater my question is what degree of “stainless” can I expect from a stainless model? Will I need to rinse it immediately when I get home from an outing (sometimes that’s 2 or 3 am) or can it withstand 6-8 hours of sitting with salt possibly in a wet sheath without rusting? I may be wrong but judging from the high level of magnetic attraction using a magnet I’m guessing this will get rust spots pretty quickly. I hope I'm wrong and that's not the case. Thank you and I have to say this is a great forum. TomD
