Wipe it down with rem oil after handling as the acid in you skin oil can cause rust. That happens with the D2

Strange! I never had a problem with Sandvick steel rusting.

Get some steel polish and it should buff off easily. Next, get a microfiber cloth to wipe it down. Last, there is a wax that you can apply to prevent corrosion and oxidation. I do this will all of my knives.

You can use 'TuF cloth' on your K5, I use it on mine and have no probs with rust.

its not the steel thats the problem, its the beadblast finish.
those little pockets in the finish are magnets to rust
