I left this knife at my parents' place for a month and this happened.
I had already done some initial rust removal, sharpening, and thining but it is bad.
The rust development extends into the handle.
It happened 3 months ago and I'm still heartbroken.![Loudly crying face :sob: 😭](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f62d.png)
This is hands down my favorite knife and I can't replace it.
