My stainless steel knives are beginning to throw rust spots in the dishwasher. While searching for a solution to why this is suddenly happening, I stumbled across the following comical exchange (I’m relieved that I am not the only blade fanatic):
Jim:
Deep breath…this is the yuppiest thing ever to come out of my mouth:
How do I get (minor) rust off my Sabatier stainless steel bread knife?
Whew. It’s over. Time for a beer.
Caroline:
The only time I remember ever getting rust on my Sabatiers was when a housekeeper washed one by hand, then set it in a wet sink to dry with a carbon steel blade sitting on top. The rust just washed off with a wet sponge, but the former housekeeper is still on life support.
