Shorinryu Sensei Posted September 19, 2004 Posted September 19, 2004 a friend wants to purchase a chrome shureido sai set and is wondering if they would rust easily? If it's chromed, it won't rust. I'm not sure what metal the Shureido sai are made from, but I doubt if you'd get much, if any rust if the chrome chipped off from contact. If it did start to rust, a small bit of oil would prevent it. I've had sai for many years and have never seen any rust yet. My nightly prayer..."Please, just let me win that PowerBall Jackpot just once. I'll prove to you that it won't change me!"
Shorin Ryuu Posted September 19, 2004 Posted September 19, 2004 ...you have the luxury of living up in Montana... Of course, when I lived in Colorado, I never had to worry about rust on my sai ever. Now that I'm in California and the majority of my sai work is done outside... Martial Arts Blog:http://bujutsublogger.blogspot.com/
harleyt26 Posted September 19, 2004 Posted September 19, 2004 Natural finished Shureido sai will rust as will the chrome where they chip,you might consider stainless steel,I think weapons connection makes afew models.My instructor in Okinawa just gives his sai a coat of vegetable oil after each use and wipes them off real gfood before each use.He does not like the shiny ones much.I oil mine regularly,at least once every couple of months. migi kamae,migi bo kihon ichi
