A warning to owners of blades

You look at your blade/admire it, and is happy not to see any rust, you even put your glasses on - no rust, how very nice.
That is what I thought, till I took a close up of one of my blades, and found traces of rust.
This leads me to recommend that you take close ups of your blades, and blow them up on the screen, and I am sure, if there is any trace of rust, it will show - long before it gets out of control.

I guess the issue is active rust (red). That is dangerous stuff.

Hi Baratta,
No it is not active yet, but when it is - you will see it clearly, so better be aware before it comes to that.
