I need to buy a new pair. Anybody have a specific brand they like? Let me know!
Stainless isn't impervious to rust, just takes longer. If you immediately rinse in freshwater (preferably RO since chlorine isn't good either) and lightly scrub the hinge area, then dry completely, they should last quite a while.Would love to find some of these "quality" ones that don't rust. Somehow the last 3 sets I've purchased, even the "stainless" ones have all rusted... amazing.
It will if submerged in saltwater or not rinsed properly... It takes longer, but is still not rust proof.Look for surgical grade. 304 Stainless. It will never rust.
Definitely helps them almost double the life span.Stainless isn't impervious to rust, just takes longer. If you immediately rinse in freshwater (preferably RO since chlorine isn't good either) and lightly scrub the hinge area, then dry completely, they should last quite a while.
I have yet to ever see someone that actually uses them not have a pair that rusts.Would love to find some of these "quality" ones that don't rust. Somehow the last 3 sets I've purchased, even the "stainless" ones have all rusted... amazing.
Yeah just buy your cheap ones and replace them when needed.Yea so access to high quality surgical instruments is another story altogether. I see 410 and 420 SS which is probably a dubious designation coming from China or Pakistan. I am also pretty certain that a quality bone cutting tool will set you back a couple hundred bucks. I can try to contact a medical supply vendor and search around a little to see why I can find out since I am in the hunt too. Honestly, I have even less of an idea where you would find something like that from titanium though. It would have to cast and then machined or machined from a block. Either way.. much more than a couple hundred bucks.
One of my X-Girlfriends mother always had knifes that looked great. No rust ever even after several years. I said...I need those knifes mine always rust! She told me they were Rachel Ray brand. Lol. So I went and bought them. Mine rusted within 1 year. I said WTH. She says...do you DRY your knifes off before you store them?I have yet to ever see someone that actually uses them not have a pair that rusts.
You know, when my wife and I got our house, my brother bought me a nice set of German knives. Nice knives are something that I never thought to get, but you can’t go back once get some!One of my X-Girlfriends mother always had knifes that looked great. No rust ever even after several years.

Ahhhhhh....heh! Yeah...lesson learned. I try to do that with my reef tools now.
You're a better man than I am hahaI rinse my tools and dry them, they still rust.
