How can I prevent corrosion on knife?

A .22 to look into is the Ruger Mark II or IV. Sort of like a Woodsman with a bull barrel. Seems like .22 cartridges are available again after a dry spell of a few years.

Yep but the Remington bulk packs are shit ammo. Too many miss fires/duds. Or if they do lite off they fail to cycle autoloaders.
Ihmo.

Corrosion of brass is initiated by ions such as chloride and carbonate. The most likely culprit is the leather because when it gets tanned there are all sorts of salts/crap used. I have seen that corrosion pattern on other brass items stored in leather. The salts also make leather hygroscopic.

LOL My Pistull.... was a Harrention Richtersons (spelling ain't my thing! ) 9 shot .22 cal a super fine target pistol...( yes my spell checker disagrees with your spelling ! LOL) it perished in the fire along with 4 other pistols 6 rifles and a bunch of ammo..
get fire insurance guys !!!!
I like using the bow and drill method, i've had good luck with that.... but I discovered that if you wanted to be sure you could start a fire you really should take your bow and drill with you....and if your going to do that a Zippo lighter is far faster !
Flint and steel is one that I have had little luck with... can't find the flint ! around here we have obsidian...not flint !
however with a good piece of flint it's easy.... I however like my Magnesium "Survival " block it works like a charm every time !
and it don't matter if it gets wet ! ....hehehe
it's really nice to be able to start a fire any time any where..... at least I've been told that...but I can't do that ....Yet.
rainsoaked woods make fire starting more of a near impossibility than a possible thing....
heheheheh back on the Ranch I went out one afternoon to "test my skill" of starting a fire with my bow and drill.... I did not take any tender
I gathered everything.... about 4 hours later I finally gave up.... my drill went through the board and I still had no fire....
and I had more smoke in my eyes than a camp fire inside a tent ! ..... but never did get the fire going with the bow and drill....
I went back to the truck and got my magnesium block that I got from walmart and had a fire going in about 2 minutes !

Hi Bob,
I carry a stainless steel multi-tool in a ballistic nylon case & nothin' has rusted on me yet.
I used to own two Russell survival knives until they went to Boy Scout camp with my sons and never came back.
But I learned an Indian trick to start fires, it just takes one match and a half-cup of gasoline.
Learned it from my buddy Eddie who is Cree but was adopted by white folks.
Claimed he had to learn to be an Indian out of a book.
