So there i was minding my own business when one day I wandered across the hilt of this dive knive. I picked it up and and made sure n critters were using it as a home. Oh there sure was stuff all over it but I had no compunction about letting the "plant" life die off. A quick rub down with scotchbrite did an ok job of getting the big stuff off like tunicates but the bryzoans and crinoids were a bit more stubborn. I ended up using a bench brinder with a soft brass wheel to buff those folks off. Yes they had etched themselves into the knife. Do I care? No it is part of the spare junk bag and if a diver desperately needs a knife for thier dive I can offer it up.. DO I care if it gets rust? No it is too beat up anyway. After someone uses it I hit it with W-D 40 and call it a day.
