        @Seul:

        What should I do to treat the rust though?.. I cleaned off the vinegar with water but immediately dried it of and placed it in the sun to dry… Very sensitive li'l thing  :-\

        Take some metal polish and take the rust off. Even though you've treated the surface, rust can still form under the rust

        I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

            There's no rust on the blade itself, but inside the knife, on the inside of the lock… Just wondering what I should dip my swabs into to treat it...

              You don't treat rust. You remove it

              Not sure how you can remove the rust from the locking mechanism without taking the knife apart

                Yeah, and that's the problem… I wouldn't know how to open it, it only has one bolt with a screw on it on top... The others are round/ closed...

                      Small makes a better EDC IMO YMMV FWIW.

                      A larger knife is intimidating in office settings, regardless of the size of the carrier.

                      Think it, be it.

                        I am tall but didnt feel like that justifies a larger knife… I actually carried a few different cheaper knives of various sizes over the last year to decide which I size was most comfortable with carrying, using, and felt was most versatile in everyday use... My inclination took me in the direction of the smaller of the two.

                                I wear this rig to the office. But then again, no one ever accused me of sound judgment.

                                  It's because you're obviously the only one with good judgement working there…

                                    Good choice! I've had one in my pocket off and on for about 10 years now and I have no regrets about it (them actually).

                                      Do you all use the spyderco SM as suggested by reeve for your CRK sebenzas? Recieved the knife and overall I really like it but I can definetly say that the factory edge leaves a bit to be desired. Looked at a few different sharpening systems last night including the SM, wicked edge and edge pro. The wicked edge looks like it provides the ability to maintain the convex edge but im a serious noob to all of this and open ears to any suggestions or information.

                                        Yes.

                                        Mine came extremely sharp though.

                                          I'm thinking I might just send it in to CRK to have it re edged. Kinda disappointed its already having to be done the day after I got it but I guess thems the breaks.
