Yes! My knives are hand forged and finished in my home shop. All of the work from forging, finishing, and sheath work is done by me

All high-carbon steel knives will rust if not maintained. Keep a light coat of oil on the knife, and there should be no issues.

I typically use 80CRV2 high-carbon steel. This steel is tough as nails and as corrosion resistant as possible, and it keeps a nice edge for a long time.
