Is this made of stainless steel such that rust should not form on the blades?

I don't see it marked stainless steel anywhere but they seem to be. I am enjoying mine. No problems with rust so far.

Yes they do rust! I have found that any stainless steel from china does. German knifes no. But check out the prices, and if these are for every day use, you will be happy!

A few of my knives started to rust almost immediately after I received them (that is with me oiling them regularly). Another showed up with rust already on it. The craftsmanship is nice but I question the quality of this blade no question.

The backbone of the blade is stainless and the cutting edge of the blade is D2. You can see the fusion of the metal in the blade at the wavy gold line. It will rust, including the stainless portion, if not kept dry and oiled, but the edge is more prone to doing so. The D2 holds a better edge than stainless and depending upon what sort of work you intend it for can hold up better.

I believe that it is made from stainless steel, it does not rust. However it is too large to fit inside of my deepfryer so I have not been able to use it for what I bought it for.

I wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't. You will not regret this purchase! Just remember, it is a carbon steel blade, so it will rust if you don't oil it.

I don't know but stainless steel is a lot harder than the metal used to form furnace ducts. I would worry it might damage the blades.

You shouldn't be worried at all. The protective coating keeps blade from rusting. A good practice is to oil your knife after use every time. As a point I will add. I filleted 4 trout with my knife and put it back in the sheath. And after a day or so I remembered what I had done. Not a a speck of rust anywhere on the knife. Even the edge without coating. Hope this helps.

It is listed as stainless on Amazon, and appears to be the same stainless as my 20 year old German Henkel knife. This one was marked Made in Spain. If it was ordinary carbon steel it would rust. I believe that all steel is "carbon steel" to some degree, since steel is by definition an alloy of carbon and iron, but stainless also contains chromium ( which prevents rust formation due to the surface oxide) and other metals as well, a situation fraught with misunderstanding

yes, a tiny bit on the knives just where handle and blade come together and further down on handle. so far no other issues with rusting. avoid any dishwasher detergents that have citrus in them.

the blade appears to be stainless, but as I only used mine for a week I can't say how long it will hold up. I've had cheap stainless tools that have rusted with exposure to the salt water, and I've had higher-quality tools (e.g. Myerchin) strapped to the mast all year without showing any corrosion.

The outer casing and blades are all stainless. The upper part is stainless except for the grip. It is very heavy duty.

I have not taken it apart but the outside and the blades are stainless steel.It is a very smart looking fan.

No, the protective coating on the blade is there to retard rusting of the carbon steel blade. Just keep a thin film of oil on the blade and you'll have no worries.

I am very certain whether it is stainless steel or not but does sound like a very good quality steel. It definitely does not rust. It a very good quality tool and I very much like it.

The carbon blade is a bit thicker but will tend to rust if not cared for properly. Stainless steel has a bit thinner blade. Stainless steel will take much more abuse without rusting, but... it is not impervious to rust if terribly mishandled. Carbon steel has been known to take a keener edge than stainless also. Hope this helps.

It is stainless steel. However, after owning it for nearly a year I can see little spots of rust on the blade (nothing too big)I've taken it out in the sea water for 5 regattas, and weekly practices on a freshwater lake. (I sail dinghies and keep this in my lifejacket)
