In the beginning of January, I lost my Dozier thorn, I thought at the gun range, and had resigned myself to finding a replacement. So after some online scouring, I found a place that still had a few, and ordered one (they're out of production). About a week ago, I was bringing some stuff into the house from my Jeep, when I noticed my old knife lying on the ground next to the vehicle. I have a gravel driveway, that had been covered with snow since December. This is probably why I didn't notice the knife until recently, when the snow all melted. So anyway, here's a couple pictures of the knife that was left lying in snow, ice, slush & gravel, for about 10 weeks.

As you can see from the pictures, the aluminum handle was completely unaffected by the snow and weather, and the D2 blade was only minimally impacted. A quick spray with CLP and five minutes of careful polishing with a rag completely removed the spots of surface corrosion, and to the untrained eye the knife looks brand new again. Only if you look very closely at the blade can you see the (slightly less shiny) spots on the blade where the spots of rust once were.
I'm thinking of taking an after-polishing picture, and sending them into Ka-bar as a customer testimonial. What say you, does this knife pass the carelessness test?
