Well I posed this same question to Robert last night and he explained to me it had nothing to do with the grade of Stainless Steel because that only pertains to weight and thickness of the metal. However, the plausible explanation was that my knives came in contact with another ferous metal like my baking pans or something that had caused a rust stain and gotten into the grain of my knives. The way to rectify it is to one clean the stain off with a cleaner such as CLR, and also use an SOS pad to scuff the other metal out of my knives and probably use my knife sharpener to re-grain them. Thus was probably the same issues with your knives. On 11/29/06, Chris Shepherd <chrisau79@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Had the same thing happen.
