No, I use my can opener about once a week and have had it for awhile and have no issues with rust.

I got your message and I asked my husband about the can opener. He said it has not gotten any rust so far and he said he always put it away to keep it dry so it would not get the rust. He bought a can opener from Walmart and he used to keep in the old can opener wet. He learned why it caused to have the rust so he always hang the new can opener up which I got him for his Christmas in the past. It has not gotten any rust so far.

No rust issues to date, seems to be superior as an opener, wife loves it. We're older generation and opening things seem to be getting more difficult, this opener tackles even the thicker dog food cans with ease. I have a boat in sea water, stainless has strange properties especially around salt water, when its subjected to wood constant contact it will corrode like carbon steel, anywhere its affixed to unlike steel, it'll do exactly as you suggest, rust, complete with rust colored stains.Near as I can tell this opener is 100% stainless other than the generous plastic turning handle.

Haven't seen any rusting yet on mine. Still works amazing and I tend to wear can openers out fast. I've been using mine at least twice a day everyday so I think this one is a keeper.

Purchased December 2011. We use it several times each week. We rinse or wash it and toss it in the drying rack to air dry. We haven't had any of the rust issues you are concerned about. If I can find a way to upload a picture of ours, I'll do that so you can see.

I purchased this opener mid-September 2013, use it 3-4 times a week, and have not seen any rust developing. However, knowing it is metal and that the possibility of rust formation exists, I routinely pat dry the cutting blade and wheel apparatus, even if they are not visibly wet. Better safe than sorry and it takes only seconds to do.

Mine rusted within the first month of use. After reading all the good reviews, I decided to give it a chance. Although the blade does not fail, I do not like the idea of keeping rusted metal around food. It rusted within the cracks in each handle as well as the parts that rub together. I wash it only under running water and open it all way to dry, but that wasn't enough to prevent it from rusting. I'm not sure if I received a defective product, but since I've had it for a year I doubt the manufacturer would accept an exchange.

I have had mine for a while and it does not have any rust on it at all. Now, I must tell you that I do not put it in the dishwasher and wash it immediately after I use it and let it air dry. The blades are sharp, and I am very pleased with the purchase.

If it doesn't cut for them..then I would say they have a serious operating problem! My cuts just fine..I've been using it everyday since i purchased! Keep it clean..and in the locked position after use! Open the locking device with the spring hinged lock handle..and open the opener wide enough to accept the next can to be opened..make sure it is positioned to cut into the can lid..and press (using some pressure..depending on the 'temper' of the metal of the can..as some cans are softer metal) )..then rotate the cutting gear handle and the cutting blade will do what it's designed to do! Open the can!! Don't be too 'girly'..it's a tool!! And..tools requie at least some skill! If it doesn't cut for them..then I would say they have a serious operating problem!

So far as i have owned this. I have not needed to oil the blade or anything else to counter act rusting it has a coating on the blade not sure what it is but no rust!

It's been chromed so any chipping of this protection will cause it to start rusting. Although I wouldn't say it's a "low quality metal" I don't think this would cause an issue unless it started happening on the gears and even then given its industrial feel, I doubt this would compromise your can opening needs.

I've had this cleaver for almost 2 years. Never had any issues. Been very happy with it. Try polishing it with a pumice liquid. Maybe first try polishing with toothpaste and sponge. Or a very fine grit wet sandpaper? 1000 grit? Then wiping down with a vegetable oil. I use it, wash it and put it away. Never have seen any rust. Good luck

Maybe the black coating is over the stainless steel which would make it double protected from rust. None of my Gerbers had rust, but I am always keeping it oiled. This black Gerber is just tougher. Not worried about the rust.

I checked my old emails to find out the date. I bought it for my husband's Christmas present in 2011. It has not turned into the rust so far even it is two years old can opener.

no, no problems of any kind, am very happy with it. have only had it for six or eight months though, which may not be long enough for rust to show up.

I have not had any issues with it rusting, and I've had it a couple of years. I wouldn't put it in the dishwasher, but only the blade that touches the can really gets dirty. I just give is a quick rinse or wipe it off really quickly with a sponge.

Never had any rust issues with either the regular or this finish. This model has a poor Phillips driver design though, it is only as thick as the flat blade drivers. On the first pair I got it broke during it's first use, putting a screw into a plastic housing.

Hi, we have used a knife and we have no rust. Just clean it right away with Mr Clean white bar and dry you should be good to go...love mine...

I have not had any rust develop on mine and have had it a few months. You should get decades of use out of chromed steel without rust if you take care of it properly.

i have mine for more than a year and have no complaints. if you want to prevent rust don't clean it in a dishwasher.... this is the only advice i can give
