    I have gotten used to rusty knives. I would prefer to not have to change.

    Black Oxide does NOT prevent rust...just adds to the patina when cleaned up afterward...

    Excellent. As long as Mike continues to cover warranties on rusty knives I am good with whatever ya'll decide...

    Anyone notice a metallic taste when using a Black oxide blade?

    All my current ESEE knives are powder coated. I want to buy a JG3 next, but unsure if I should try to buy an un-coated model for food prep.

    shaneadams90 Shane, are the un-coated Camplore knives going away with the addition of the black oxide knives being added?

    Mine did at first, but I gave it a good hard wash with dish soap and a brush and now it seems fine
