Although the knife frame is slightly magnetic, it’s also reasonably noncorrosive and cleaned up pretty well after some Topsaver and wire-wheel brushing activity:

Whew!

For whatever it’s worth, this is the same knife that made it through the Washington DC “security scans” that eventually confiscated Mary’s Swiss Army Knife. She didn’t look any more guilty than I did…
