CAN STAINLESS STEEL RUST?
CAN STAINLESS STEEL RUST?
Yes, any stainless steel product can in some circumstances rust but it is much more resistant to corrosion than ordinary carbon or alloy steels. It is ‘stain-less’ not ‘stain-impossible’.
HOW CAN I BE CERTAIN IT’S A GENUINE KNIFE?
We strongly recommend purchasing from official Global Knife stockists where stock can be verified. Please check the vendor and only trust highly rated sellers.
WHAT IS STAINLESS STEEL?
In metallurgy, stainless steel is defined as a steel alloy with a minimum of 11% chromium content. Stainless steel does not stain, corrode, or rust as easily as ordinary steel (it stains less), but it is not stain-proof. There are different grades and surface finishes of stainless steel to suit the environment to which the material will be subjected in its lifetime. Stainless steel is 100% recyclable and is available in different forms.
