What does rust look like on ATS-34

[student99]

I have knife unused but there are blemishes on the surface. I can't tell if they are rust or defects in the surface finish.

How does rust affect ATS-34? Different than other rust-able steels?

Thanks, my surface does not look that way. No rusty orange colors
