Will this rust if you don't dry it?

no, this is a great knife i drop it and broke the tip and then I did a very stupid thing, I open a can and broke a nice piece about 1/4 inch fromo the tip but I got it repaired and its still sharp. Just maintain it and it should stay sharp

I haven't let mine stay wet. I use it and then hand wash and dry it. High carbon steel does rust and the knife has layers of stainless steel and high carbon steel. I imagine that if you put it away wet it would rust. The core is high carbon steel. That's what makes the edge. You wouldn't want the edge to rust.

My experience has been, doing knife work and not drying it in between tasks has had no ill affect. I do however hand wash it and dry it thoroughly before storing. I store it in the sheath and box it came in. I would not chance not drying before storage because I'm not sure of the steel origin or composition. It has been a very fine knife and came shaving sharp. I hope this helps.

Well it is metal so I do think if outside it might rust. I guess if humidity is not an issue and you keep relatively dry then okay.

It's got quite a few metal parts that are exposed. Those probably wouldn't rust if you dried them really well but I don't know if you'd be able to. I probably wouldn't try it.

I have been using it every day since I purchased it, and there are no signs of rust. I rinse and dry it thoroughly every day.

yes, it gets rusty if I just let it air dry. I wash it and then dry it quickly on a turned on stove. It dries faster and thoroughly this way and would not rust at all.

I do and not have had a problem. It is all aluminum so it doesn't rust. I do dry it off though.

No, it does not rust because it is made of stainless steel. I bought it last summer and only used it 2 times, but it seems to work just fine. :)

I leave mine in a sponge holder and it's never dried before I throw it in there. It hasn't rusted and I've had it for a year now.

That's odd. I haven't had that happen. Just a thought but do you have city water or hard (well) water? I have city water. Not sure it should matter as far as rust if you dried it. Towel dry or air dry? I have done both and have 6 kids so its been used a lot. Bad luck for you:( or faulty product?

Purchased December 2011. We use it several times each week. We rinse or wash it and toss it in the drying rack to air dry. We haven't had any of the rust issues you are concerned about. If I can find a way to upload a picture of ours, I'll do that so you can see.

To prevent rusting before putting the blade away make sure it is clean and dry and you should be alright.

Not certain, but I speculate that since it's not stainless steel it will be prone to rust Having said that, the one I bought is in our laundry room with some humidity and still looks brand new.

I just keep it on my sink. I've not had to dry it and it's not ever rusted.

Mine has not rusted, but it stays in my linen closet (away from moisture) most of the time and I don't put wet items in it.

No, but if you do not use it often, oil it and keep it dry. If you do use it often then a layer of plant matter will protect the edge from rusting. Clean steel is the most vulnerable.

Good question, I just got one and I think I will run it dry in late fall and fill with fresh, I have been told to keep it full to prevent rust.

I bought this somewhere around a year ago with no rushing issues. Whenever I'm not using it, I remove all water and dry just to be safe. I would assume if water is left In it, it would most likely rust, but thus far, all is well and rust free.
