Maintenance
Kitchen knives made of stainless steel require less maintenance. The chromium content and other elements make them more resistant to corrosion than carbon steel knives. However, they still require proper care. After use, knives should be washed and dried or left to air dry on a rack or magnetic strip. If storing knives in a block, it's best to place them there when they are already dry. For long-term storage, it's advisable to coat the blades with edible oil, avoiding oils that quickly turn rancid, such as linseed oil. Although stainless steel is corrosion-resistant, in unfavorable conditions, it may develop patina if not properly maintained.
It's absolutely unacceptable to wash knives in the dishwasher. The strong chemicals used in dishwashers can cause discoloration on the blade, permanently damage handles or their coatings, and the high temperature can lead to the dulling of the cutting edge. For the same reason, knives should not be used for stirring or checking the hardness of vegetables or meat in boiling broth.
