Yeah, stainless steel is really iffy. My daily use pocketknife is made of some really cheap stainless and it doesn't rust, ever. My nice expensive throwing knife/ fighting knife hybrid is made out of stainless also, but I can't keep that damn thing from getting rust spots.

the only time a metal rusts is if its a ferrous metal which contains traces of iron.
