We have a few question about our stainless steel quality. I did a special Rust test.
I used the "BADGER" knife - (http://www.rosarmsusa.com/badger.htm) made in 2005
1. I decide to use 3 different liquids - unfiltered water, lime juice, onion juice.
Sorry I did pictures for Russian spoken forum, so labels on the picture are in Russian. So there are (from left to right) water, lime, onion!
2. I left my knife for 3 days on the kitchen table - average temperature 75F, humidity 75% (Chicago summer
)
what I got after 3 days you can see on the next picture:
So we got 3 different marks on the blade. (it would be strange if we would not get them). And I decide to wash my knife in regular tap water:

A piece of onion "glued" to the blade - lets try soft sponge:

What do we have now?

What can we see? I took two shots - with and without flash.
We still can see some marks but NO RUST AT ALL
No marks after water, very light mark after onion and a little darker mark after lime! Again - NO RUST!
Ok! I decide to try regular jewelry cleaning cloth from WalMart (used one! with almost no powder!)

And as result we see:

Just a very light mark (no rust) from the lime juice! Nothing after water, nothing after onion!
That lime mark i cleaned with NEW jewelry cloth!
Any questions please feel free to contact me.
