I've recently had a problem with my knives rusting. Has anyone else had this problem?

No, mine are still sharp and in good condition. I am happy with my purchase.

Rust can only occur from periods of moisture on any metal surface so never leave them wet and then no rust can form. I have about a hundred knives and have never seen a speck of rust in over 30 years of collecting them since they are always towel dried immediately after washing...

Never have! Mine are still in GREAT condition years later. I always hand wash though, never the dishwasher.

I bought a set of the Henckels International Everedge Plus Stainless Steel knives at a thrift store today. They don't seem to have ever been used, but all knives had spots of rust on them. Low-grade stainless WILL rust. DO NOT use a plastic scrubbie or the scrubbie back of a sponge because that hard plastic will scratch the metal. I used ZUD cleaner on a wet paper towel, with a lot of elbow grease, and got all the rust spots off without scratching the metal or the writing on the blade. I also use the ZUD on my good stainless pans to keep the bottoms looking like new.

Never had that trouble with mine. Only hand wash. Might need to oil them a bit to see if that helps,

I can tell you this if it is true stainless steel it will not rust. I worked in the steel industry all my life. But my set of knifes haven't rusted. Mine are 2 years old this year.

Donna, I would never put my knives in a dishwasher, but that is just me. They may do well with going through a dishwasher, I can't advise. Sorry. Most things now days have some kind of warranty, you need to check with their service department on current available warranties.

I have had mine for a while and it does not have any rust on it at all. Now, I must tell you that I do not put it in the dishwasher and wash it immediately after I use it and let it air dry. The blades are sharp, and I am very pleased with the purchase.

I've had mine for a few months and they haven't rusted at all. I don't put them in the dishwasher or leave them in water, though.

We've enjoyed our 15-piece stainless steel knife set for four years but have rust and one of the largest knives broke loose from the stainless steel(?) handle. We're attempting to find out if there's a warranty we can rely on.

I have only hand washed them and they haven't rusted so far. Very happy with the bigger knives- the steak knives are kinda weird and hardly use them. The serrated part is only in the front.

I have not experienced that. Do you have a steel? That could really help. All knives need to be maintained.

I don't think so! There was nothing in the box that lead me to believe that there was a warranty! These knives are very sharp but the stainless steel leaves a lot to be desired. My knives had to be polished because of rust. To deal with this problem, when I use these knives I wash them and dry them to avoid them rusting. If you leave these knives in water theY will rust!!!!

Most manufacturers advise that you never put your knives in the dishwasher. For one it can be dangerous for people to unload. Beyond safety, it's not good for the knives. The machine can dull the knife, the chemicals and high heat can damage the steel, and inevitably, the knife is sitting in some amount of moisture (hence the rust). The rust is only cosmetic, but anyone who truly cares for their knives will tell you to always hand wash and dry them immediately.

I haven't had a rust problem, but I don't put it in the dishwasher either. I wash and dry by hand (no biggie) and they continue to look new. I had one knife in the dishwasher by accident, and although I have a high-efficiency unit with spot rinse, it came out spotty. I love these knives and would buy them again.

I accidentally left mine in the sink over night and they did rust. If you take care of them you should not have the problem I did, but mistakes happen...

so they tell you to not put them in the dish washer because the dish wash dulls the knifes. Mine got spot rust on them after being cleaned in the dishwasher. The ones I hand washed have not rusted.

No they do not rust. They are the best knifes I have ever used. My parents had them when I was a kid and I still have and use those ones too. I hope that helps and if you purchase you will love!

My steak knifes started to form rust the first day they were used. I guess if you wash and dry them completely by hand the minute you are done using them, they won't form rust (and it is more than surface rust). I sure hope they sell for 10 bucks at a garage sale. I will be ordering better knives in a few days. To the company...get real, people can't wash and clean them that quick.And they are not as sharp as advertised. I had a 10 year old set of knives from another company, they still don't have rust, but the handles started to break.

I've had it for several months now and use it regularly and no rust so far.. that was my fear as well, which is why i made sure i bought a stainless steel grater. So at this point, no rust at all :)

Yes, These knives developed some rust spotting during the first few times I ran them through the dishwasher. So now I try and hand wash them when possible.

I haven't had any issues with rust and I've had my set for over 8 yrs. I do try to wash the knives right away and not let them sit in the sink for an extended period though.
