Battery acid is a good test for the future robot wars of 2050.

A sweaty gym shirt in a zip lock for 24 hours is a great test.

How about a drop of blood, if you're willing to go that far? :thinking I don't even know if it affects steel at all. I just know it's hard to get off of fabric.

Okay then. :woozy

But, to the subject: does blood leave (permanent?) stains on steel if not wiped off? What say you, CSI watchers? :winking-tongue

Save your blood… unless you are a vampire
use your morning urine to get the same results because or similar PH levels.

This is getting into weird territory.

Don't do it if you feel it's not right. There's no problem!

If you're a knife guy, the question is not if you'll cut yourself, but when you will.

Wait for the next opportunity and capitalize on it.

Butcher for 20 years, don’t cut myself often. :cowboy

Not hard to stick a pin in my finger and squeeze. Will do lemon juice first when I get some time.

Not hard, but odd. Not sure we need a blood test.

Sigh - SAME DAY I make this post, I cut myself on a Benchmade. Gave it a lil spin as I picked it up... blade broke the detent just long enough to come out a quarter of an inch, made a 2 millimeter cut on my palm. Should I ship you the blood?

Might have to do my favourite Cranberry juice

As seen on my maxamet Native 5 (10 days hotel quarantine in Hawaii led to the below experiment)

I'm not a watch guy, but if I were... I've admired enough of them to know that I would buy THAT Omega and be done. :smiling-heart-eyes Perfection!

For my food prep blue#2s and super blues, I get the blades good and hot under tap water and use yellow mustard on the carbon edge. Continue running spine under hot water for 5 min or so, with mustard on edge facing up, then rinse off mustard and dry. Gives the edge a cobalt-bluish color, often with a little red in there. The color stays a long time as long as subsequent cleanings are with cold water.

Haven't tried with any spydies, your results may vary.
