I like it. It looks nice and worn in.
I kinda do as well, but I am still tempted by a pristine blade...

Guess I'll be leaving it as it is then.
On the surface, after I removed said rust all looks fine again. Really wierd, it was not bubbled from within nor did I see any damage after I removed it. I will be sure to keep and eye on this and maybe get in tough with Chris@SOG and see what he can tell me about their coating.
I'll be sure to put you in my will

Just throwing this out there: Chrome plate is actually porous, and over time, corrosion will get through these micro pores and look bad.Is it possible that the Titanium Nitride coating was poorly applied- like not completely cleaned first? Any contamination under the coating could fester and erupt. Kind of like microscopic zits.
