Hi all.
I have tried a lot of steels but not 52100. As I have read it sounds fantastic, but how is it reactiveness?
I have white#1 that starts to rust just after 5 minutes (Kanetsune 210 Deba), but I have a cladded Carter that is not that insane to rust. White, but unsure of #1 or #2, I also have some blue that is insane to rust.
The reason that I ask is that I just ordered a new petty Hon warikomi-style blade combining a 52100 carbon steel core with 416 stainless steel sides.
But several members of the household might use this when Im not around, and Im afraid of what they might do to it....
All my 240 Guytos and larger are left alone, but this is a smaller petty and Im afraid that it can be damaged if left alone...
What do you guys think of 52100?
