Pic related is a Kershaw Shuffle, which is no more than 3 months old. Some sort of rust or tarnish appeared on it from the last time I used it (Friday). Any idea why, and how to clean/prevent it?

Forgot to say it is also on the reverse side, although not as bad
>>
>>31307619
Moisture.

Mix of industrial glass cleaner, bleach and toothpaste usually gets it clean for me. Mix to about pancake batter consistancy and store in tupperware.

>Protip: windex will fuck the finish for some reason (bleach too strong for it maybe).

>>31307619
Kershaw bead blast leaves a rougher finish on a knife than polished Steel or some other coating so moisture collects on it easier on the tiny level leading to it being more prone to rust

Tldr dont dunk it in water or acidic liquid

Gross OP we can see your pubes on the blade

Is the finish bead blasted? I've had the same experience from just a half hour in a wet pocket, different knife but with bead blast finish on a stainless steel. In the future, only go for satin, stonewash, or coated blades.

Easy fix, rub with cloth and solvent, let dry, then rub with cloth and light oil to help protect it.

dirt

I don't think it is, it's a really smooth semi-matte finish, but I'm not sure, it's my first Kershaw.

>>31308097
Sorry those are butt hairs, it's feels good up there
>>
>>31308154
To your second part, like mineral oil?

Sorry to say you deserve it friend.
>>
>>31308258
I usually go with the old hoppes, but yeah that's fine. You can use sex oils if you want.
>>
>>31308294
Sorry for not having $400 to drop on a single knife
>>
>>31308247
Actually, they're right. bead blasted blades (and some coarser stone wash finshes) leave micro divots in the blade, moisture sits there and starts to corrode the blade. Where do you live OP?
Being from Alabama I've dealt with this a lot and know from experience.
>>
>>31308820
In the bay area of California, right in the coast, so it's humid, but nothing like down your way.
>>
>>31308869
Do you know whether you have the 8cr13mov or 3cr13 steel?
>>
>>31308928
I have no idea sorry, mine is the shuffle 8700 if that helps.
>>
>>31308995
I think it usualy comes in 8cr13mov
>>
>>31308995
I believe the 8700 is the 8cr13mov. Was just curious. Anywho, to answer your question, just keep it in a dry place when you dont have it on you. Don't leave it in your pants at the end of the day, take it out, wipe it off good, and put it on your nightstand/dresser.
>>
>>31307810
Nice try
>>
>>31310606
I usually leave it in my jeans if I'm going to wear them the next day, so I assume that's what caused it.
>>
>>31311951
Yeah, that's what did it. Don't do that anymore unless you want more rust.
>>
>>31311851
I know this is bait, but what would that do to a blade?
>>
>>31312961
Industrial window cleaner has ammonia, which windex and household products avoid like the plague. Mix with some bleach and you will be one sorry motherfucker.
>>
>>31313582
Chlorine gas or something yeah?
>>
>>31315341
Chloromine vapor, yeah.
>>
>>31307619

Have you been getting cum on your knife? The pH of semen tends to prevent the formation of rust.
>>
>>31315708
Yeah I clean it every three days with jizz, doesn't everyone?
