I'm about to purchase a Military, and I can get it in either the ATS-34 or the 440-V steel. I would like to know a little more about the saltwater resistance offered by the two different steels. Is one clearly superior to the other? Or are they comparable as far as corrosion resistance?
I do quite a bit of saltwater fishing throughout the summer, and I would like a knife that can hold up to the corrosive qualities of sea air and saltwater. I won't be constantly immersing the knife, but no doubt it will occasionally get wet. Of course, I will always rinse it with fresh water fairly soon afterwards (within the day).
Any help here would be appreciated.
