Abusing my EDC knife

It is a $35 American made with stainless steel and aluminum so no worries about rusting. I know that doesn't solve your current problem, but it may help you prevent it in the future.

PS I have no affiliation with them, but I buy all my EDC knives from them.

Hmmm...that looks a LOT like my knife. (see photo) ;D
I can't find any info on whether mine was made in the USA (not sure if some are not), or whether it is stainless steel, but it was oxidizing.
I wonder if some Navy Jelly would take it off.
ETA: @Thanke...I agree with you. I really like my Kershaw Blur. FYI I got mine on Amazon for $48.25 in June 2014. Can't find the Red Blur on Amazon any more though.

Hmm, I left a Kershaw Leek outside over winter. I found it next spring and there was rust on it...not from the blade or aluminum handle, but from the torsion bar. I emailed Kershaw asking for a replacement kit which they sent me no questions asked, and now it is as good as new. I didn't know they made them with anything else but stainless & aluminum, but I'm not a knife connoisseur by any means.

I might give them a call. Looking at the picture of the knife in the link you provided, the number on my blade matches the one on the knife in the picture. I would think that means it is the same material.
Regardless, stainless steel can rust, though it is more resistant than other metals.

Rod carries Blue Wonder at his store (Moeller Arms) ... or he did the last time I looked. If not, you can get it online at myriad places.

I beat the ever loving hell out of my EDC Camillus Cuda that can be had for $30-ish on amazon. It's a work blade, but it's also AUS-8 steel, so it takes and holds an edge extremely well.
Got a different style of open assist to it though, takes a bit of getting used to.
