I love copper and would like to use it more often in my knives.

The past couple of folders I have done got copper shields and even some copper handle rivets. I recently bought some small copper sheets to make liners for my next folders.

But I have become aware of the concept of galvanic corrosion. Is this the reason that copper is not used in conjunction with steel or other metals? I thought this would only be a major problem if it is used with aluminum in an electric setting.

I want to make some guards for fixed blade carbon steel knives from copper as well.

Can anyone shed light here? Thanks.
