Update...

The knife is very pocket friendly and I use it every day since I got it... i takes a nice patina from food...

Image

...but that patina does not give strong enough protection from rust... this is what I've seen on the M4 blade after one sunny and sweaty day...

... and the same blade after light polishing with TEMPO paste.

I like that knife ;)

Did you just wipe the TEMPO on with a rag?

This is one of the key reasons I bought it. I don't want a shiny polished blade. I want rust and character and charm and identity. After reading your post I decided to check my Mantra after a sweaty day of work. WOOHOO! :D
