I got home yesterday to find the kitchen a mess and found the good MAC Chef knife in the drying rack and found a spot of rust on the blade edge. The blade is SS and I have owned it for about 3 years now. I am just surprised there is rust and just trying to decide best way to go about correcting?

Try baking "soda" and lemon juice first. make a thin paste and puddle it on. Let it sit till fairly dry, hydrate it a litlle and do some rubbing.

The rust is from what is called "vagrant Iron" iron near the surface that is not entirely in solution with the alloys.

We actually don't know that.

Similarly Transglutaminase, I told my SO she had to use a cutting board with my good knives. I next saw her dulling my best knife (not a great one at that time but sharp) on a glass tray. I got her and the daughter serrated steak knives, and that ended the problem, well, I did have to tell the daughter to use her steak knife on the glass tray instead of my wood cutting board.
