D2 has decent corrosion resistance for a tool steel but it’s NOT stainless — long contact with salt water or wet pockets will eventually rust the edge. The black blade coating adds protection; touch up any worn spots with light gun oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePivot service:\u003c\/strong\u003e One drop of light machine oil at the pivot every few months keeps the XR Lock action smooth. Don’t over-tighten the pivot screw — just enough to remove side-to-side blade play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSharpening:\u003c\/strong\u003e D2 sharpens cleanly on a diamond stone or ceramic rod at ~20° per side. It takes a bit more passes than softer 420\/440 steels but holds an edge much longer. A ceramic touch-up rod kept in the truck restores a working edge in 30 seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLegal Note\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCarry laws on folding knife blade lengths vary by state, county, and city.
