Get over on the Jungletraining.com forum and check it out. Those guys would know why more than myself. I know there is a couple over there that do carry them. I wouldnt really see it as being a problem as long as you take care of it.
AWESOME. thanks for the heads up.
You know more than most here when it comes to esee blades...
ESEEs are mostly 1095 steel, intended for hard use.
They will rust if you don't encourage a patina or take care of them with a little oil.
Maintenance is minimal because most of the blade is powdercoated.
Damascus will also rust, but you don't cover-up the blade with powdercoat.
So you have to oil the entire blade, not just the cutting edge.
It is likely worth the effort, because Damascus is the Harley of the knife world!
