Question

are the little brown dots that are forming on my brand new kershaw knife rust spots?

Answer 1

Yes! Clean the knife carefully with WD-40 & steel wool, then wipe the knife off and coat it with any type of lubricate that has Teflon in it for the best protection against rust.

Answer 2

You prob got a cheap knife a 440 stainless steel knife would never rust. but it sounds like you are not drying it off properly before storing. An old timer brand knife is alot better.

Answer 3

Yes. I have found that WD-40 will clean these off as well as providing protection.

Answer 4

clean off with not metal scouring pad, keep knives clean and lightly coated with thin film of mineral oil when stored

Answer 5

Return it. It shouldn't be doing that.
