Rust WAY to easily. I have 3 of them. Two of them in my camper and I keep them in a sheath so we don't get cut. We use them daily, or we did... just took them out of the camper. You literally have to oil them after ever single use if you are cutting veggies, fruit etc.... these are terrible. I'll never purchase again. I know most guys rave about them... I just don't get it. Maybe it's only for a dry environment. I have over 50 knives, mostly high end.. this is one of the few that rusts so easily. I'd be all over it again if they offered a higher quality steel... this is junk.

crowleykirkThey have several different steels to choose from the most common is like a 1095 carbon rusts very easy but takes an edge and holds it well. They do offer some stainless you just have to pick and choose the 1095 does rust quickly and easily. Marine tuff cloth is great to wipe it down with before going into the sheath.

crowleykirkPlenty of videos on YouTube that show how you can put a patina on carbon steel blades to prevent it from rusting. A few on Mora knives as well.

crowleykirkI have Morakniv models in both stainless and carbon (Companion, this one, and the Bushcraft). The carbon versions take and hold a razor edge very well, but since they are high-carbon they require maintenance/oiling just like any other high carbon steel. The stainless versions like this one do not rust easily for regular use (but I'm sure they would if thrown into a saltwater tackle box and abused). IMHO, the more "stainless" a blade is, the less I like the edge quality and retention - its always a trade-off. Right tool for the right use...
