I am reading Castners cutthroats by Jim Rearden, and in it he writes about Aleuts making long hunting voyages in their bidarkas. I am wondering how they protected their steel knife blades from salt water corrosion. Any idea?
ReplyDeleteHey Jessica, it's Vickie Lake. I just wanted you to know that I'm using your blog in my class today to discuss the story knife. It's a graduate class on Curriculum & Play. So, thank for the great blog. Hope to see you again in the future.
