If it has rust on it it is not 440 stainless as 449 stainless does not rust.

Should my blade have started to rust as I thought they were stainless steel?

Stainless steel does rust... titanium doesn't. You should wash and promptly dry the cutter blades with a cloth after each use to prevent rust which will dull the blades must faster. (Pleasure boats use stainless steel bolts and fittings throughout, and they are always slightly corroded.)

Lunch box put in dryer now plastic is seen through the holes on the inside back of dryer how do i clean

Ouch, I'd heat up the dryer no clothes, then almost crawl inside and use the commercial stainless steel pot cleaner to scrape/ clean the hot soft plastic off as fast as possible, rotating the "ball" as it fills with the hot plastic. You may be able to pull, scrape big pieces off first with a putty knife or razor blade window scraper first. On outside back of drum same proceedure but you'll need to get at it by removeing back cover of the dryer. Make sure you remove the plug before getting to the back.

How do remove rust spots from stainless steel Yahoo Answers

Yes, stainless will rust. The above link has helpful information on how to treat rust spots on stainless. The web site suggests using a mild acid, such as oxalic acid, which can be purchased at Home Depot or Lowes. Use a green scrub pad, as recommended. Hope this helps....

How should I care for my stainless steel dive knife so it doesnt go rusty?

. Stainless Steel contains high carbon traces for strengthening, they will almost certainly rust. To ensure that you care for your knife you should rinse it well with fresh water after a dive and allow it to dry naturally outside of its sheath, you can also apply some oil to the blade from time to time, and this will preserve your knife for longer.

What is the best steel for a hunting knife?

Right now the best steel as far as stainless steel is S35VN stainless steel. It surpasses the S30V steel. But if you want the best carbon steel, personally I would go with D2 steel. It is such a good steel that it is considered a semi-stainless steel.

But to really help you out, it's not the type of steel that's the most important thing. It is the way the steel is heat tempered and hardened. If it is not properly heat treated and hardened, then the steel is worthless as far as knives go. If the HRC is too high for the type of steel/ stainless steel, then the blade will be brittle and chip or break easier.

If the steel's HRC aka Rockwell hardness is too low, then it will easily bend and will not hold an edge well at all.

Each steel and stainless steel have their own HRC tolerance level Going above or below its HRC tolerance makes for a bad knife blade.

What's the best way to remove rust or corrosion from your knife?

Rust can be removed by using a good stainless steel rust remover that is organic and dos not harm the metal. Rust on stainless steel should never be scrapped off. This may cause scratches on the surface and thus spoil the look of the metal.

Stainless steel is rusty/blotchy

Jenn Air makes great products, don't blame them. Your type of stainless steel is a consumer grade that has less nickel-chromium in the mix making it affordable to the consumer. The surface needs to be "pacified", DeBruce Polish will REMOVE THE RUST and PACIFY the surface. We get Debruce Polish at debrucepolish.com.
