I guess I can see copper due to the corrosive issue, but avoiding aluminum seems odd to me. But then, I don't make knives OR restore razors...yet
I had the same question because I use aluminum all the time and have been known to make a knife once, myself. I was hoping for a heads up in case aluminum is problematic somehow or another. Even sent a PM, but never got an answer. Must have pissed ole Howard off...
