Black oxide tools in a seafairing environment

Anyone used BO MT's in an area regularly exposed to salt air. Did it stave off rust significantly longer than a SS Multi?  :drink:

Be excellent to each other and always know where your towel is.

Where's Grant?  He probably has tons of experience, since he has a fair share of exposure to the sea on a daily basis.

Sorry, the next salt water surface is several hundred Km to me.  :shrug:
Have fun.

well I can't add much except that I've spent 5 weeks in Florida close to the beach (when I wasn't trying to find gators to wrestle in the swamp) with a stainless Spirit X and it didn't have any rust on it. but 5 weeks isn't that much time
