Greetings ALL,
To cut to the chase, I've had this joint for 13 years now, and it even saved my life during an attempted mugging/beatdown and thats not the only time it saved me.. Anyways its comfort and sentimental value here along with protection and survival.
Last week during that Polar Vortex business that crippled us in the midwest I apparently lost it somewhere in about 18 inches of the powder white in Negative 35 weather. Figured it was a goner..Today its 44 degrees and powder has turned to slush and I of course after having giving up all hope miraculously found it.
Knife: Smith & Wesson Extreme Ops
Markings: CKG104B Hammer forged Surgical and on other side, Titanium 440 Steel
A few questions after I wiped it down and used Canned air to dry it off.

1. What can I do about the few rust spots forming on the blade and rest of the knife?
2. The belt clip now only has 2/3 screws on it, how to replace em? They look propriatary.. some kind of star head like business on it?
3. This episode has me thinking, in the 13 years i've had it, I've not done a single thing to maintain it.. Its my EVERYDAY carry so what maintenance should I be doing on this?
4. Based on what this knife is and more importantly its size, what similar knives would yall recommend to compliment it(never replace)?
thanks in advance!
