I asked the metallurgist at my work the same question and he said - only for the kitchen. Its carbon content will mean a lot of care to keep it from rusting in the field.

Very true scottrods,but its not hard to give it a oil just the same as when oiling your rifle do it at the same time. The reason I write this is your knife to me is part of your essential equipment and in a lot of cases its the least looked after.

You can get stainless Damascus. It looks mint!

Can someone point me in the direction when I can purchase one of her knives...I bought one when I was in NZ in April (J Harris I mean)

HILLBILLYHUNTERS is right about take good care of your knife. Easiest way to remove the rust/oxidisation is to sprinkle baking soda on a half a potoato and rub down the knives with they turn shiney again I also use a bit of vinegar, confuse the deers as they just think your walking fish and chips and no danger
