    That's just not true. They do oxidize more quickly than an inox steel, but provided they are kept dry-- especially if they are oiled-- quality carbon steels are very durable.

    On top of which, the damage a new guy stropping can do to an edge is dramatically worse that what the micro-scale corrosion at the edge could cause.
