Do these cutters rust over time?

Anything made from steel can rust. The trick is to thoroughly clean the cutters after each use, then apply a light coat of oil such as 3-In-One or WD-40 to prevent the rust from starting. Wipe away the excess oil with a paper towel or dish cloth before storing the cutters.

Good grief! I have had a set of steak knives and a countertop set of kitchen knives for more than 30 years and have never had any rusting issues. I will point out that I do NOT put them in the dishwasher (wooden handles) and that when I hand wash them, I always dry them thoroughly before storing them.

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

I never read the box, but I've been using them for a couple of years. I've not experience rust, if that's what you're worried about. I gave a set to my friend...no complaints there either.

I have 2, I bought them in 2009. Always in use. Neither have rusted at all.

I've had mine for a few months and they haven't rusted at all. I don't put them in the dishwasher or leave them in water, though.

After 10 years, they might have a miniscule amount of rust right by the handle, but that wipes right off when you take it out of the dishwasher. I have never seen tarnish.

We live in a desert climate with little rain. We do have them located in areas where we hose them down after use. No evidence of rust to date. Hope this helps.

They'll never rust. These are made just for shaving, so you'll never keep one once it's opened more than a week. If you're thinking about using these for something other than shaving, you might be looking for blades made for tools.

I carefully hand wash and dry my shears. They have not rusted. I do not know if they eventually will. They certainly cut snow crab well.

Rusting? No not at all. I have been using this set for almost weekly for over a year and it has been great.

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.

I put mine in the dishwasher, mine have not rusted. They are very resistant and heavy duty. Great poultry shears.Danette

I have owned these knives for over a year and they have no rust. I do not put them in the dishwasher, however.

No rust but I don't use the dish washer to clean them.. Sorely disappointed in these knives. My TV knives that I threw out were better and they were only 19.95 for a gazillion of them.

I don't know for sure, but they are probably proprietary to the brand. A google search on this company would probably be the best way to get an answer to your inquiry. However, I've been using mine for several months on an almost daily basis and they don't show any signs of dulling yet. I think it would probably be cheaper to replace the entire cutter if it gets dull; it is not very expensive. I hope this helps you.

Over time they will rust. If you make sure they are dry before putting them away, they should last longer. Stainless steel. Keep in mind the phrase, get what you pay for. "I" have no complaints, hope this helps
