You'll get a nice bright green copper chloride patina from salty water, and it'll eat the sharp edges and tip away so you'll need to do more frequent sharpening which will wear it away eventually. I think the patina is also a bit toxic and an irritant, though that'll be the least of your worries when a giant atlantean monster has half drowned you and stuck a spear through your chest. | |
