Can Stainless Steel knives rust?

It is possible for stainless steel knives to rust if they are left in a warm, damp atmosphere such as a dishwasher. We, therefore, recommend that you hand wash the knives even though they are dishwasher safe. The best way to wash them is to wipe them over before they are washed in soapy water. They should then be dried immediately. If the knives are washed in the dishwasher they should be removed and dried as soon as the cycle finishes as knives must never be left for prolonged periods in a hot damp atmosphere as rust spots can develop.
