[asa400]

Entirely possible! I'm definitely not an expert. I own a few of these (LC200N and Magnacut) and I can confirm they've held up well in my own use of getting wet/dirty/etc. vs. other tool steels I have. Where they stack up against non-tool steels or steels not commonly used in cutlery, I couldn't say.

That said, I have heard plenty of anecdotes confirming these properties from other folks. People losing a knife in a stream or field and then finding it the following year, etc.

> In any case, this new alloy is weird -- it seems like it specifically has excellent resistance to electrochemical corrosion when it is used as an anode, which is not what people usually use stainless steel for :)

100%. Probably almost no crossover into cutlery, but super cool regardless!
