So after talking to a bunch of people I'm certainly going with carbon steel for my first and many first attempts. Talking 1095 it looks like from what folks seem to think is forgiving. Ok here is my question though. After it's done and over and you made your knife. How do you take care of it? It's not stainless so it needs a bit more TLC or it will rust.
Basically.... your customer just bought a knife made out of 1095. What do you tell them on how to care for it? If it starts to rust
, what do you tell them to do?

Should this be in the FAQ?
