| Continuously soaked in sea water for all of these past three months. For both photos of all four knives, I let them air dry first, for MK3MOD0 photos, I used a wire brush to clean the rust off. What I noticed was that the pitting has "eaten" its way almost completely through the blade (both sides)!
See PHOTO
- Mission Knives MPK - No signs of corrosion.
- Ontario Navy MK3 MOD0 - Rust appears to be deeper and there appears to be more and deeper pitting. In fact, the pitting has "eaten" its way almost completely through the blade (both sides)!
- Ontario USMC Combat Knife - Leather has swelled. HEAVY, HEAVY coat of rust over the entire knife, including pommel, and, what appears to be a "flaking" effect. Pitting is setting in. Guard continues to rust, as does pommel. A "powder" coat of rust has formed that can be knocked off with tapping the blade against something hard.
