These knives are made from stainless steel. Apparently the knife was deliberately immersed in acid. Blades made of the best steel remained almost intact and corrosion appeared on the spacers.

@lostandrestored 8 ай бұрын

From the manufacturer: Victorinox Knives are manufactured using Stainless Steel. Stainless Steel has a high resistance to corrosion. However, this does not mean it is resistant to rust or corrosion if not looked after properly. Regular cleaning and oiling are important for your Swiss Army Knife to function properly. I can email the owner of the knife and ask them how it got this rusty. What we can see is a lot of surface rust that points to neglect.

No way, I have a 25 year old Swiss knife (previously daily use for about 5 years) that wound up just sitting in a box and it had built up mildly rusted blades, nowhere near bad looking as this one in the video. Well, when these 'stainless steel' blades rust, they are not just surface rust that you can wipe off. It is pitted into the blade and leaves craters in the blade after detailed cleanup. You'll have a scar face blade, not a perfectly smooth blade. This knife is staged.

Who doesn't remember getting one of these as a kid? My dad always had about 10 different multitools, pocketknives, swiss army knife, whatever. Then when I got older and statted working on yachts, most of us were issued a Leatherman, but sometimes you got a Swiss Army Knife like this and you needed it. The screw driver function and knife or serrated bkade especially. The scissors were useless as was the tweezers. The toothpick had many uses, especially for cleaning. The engineers got the really fancy ones with all sorts of Allen wrenches and screw drivers. Deck crew had the ones with an awl. That was super important for making lines.

It would take an elaborate mixture of rust inducing chemicals to produce that much scale. As others have mentioned, the lack of deep pitting and damage to the steel is also telling.

There’s suspicious lack of pitting on those heavily ‘rusted’ stainless steel blades. In the end, they polished up like they were new. Rust doesn’t come from nowhere. It comes from oxidation of the underlying metal. With moderate to heavy rusting you will always get some pitting and loss of the underlying steel.

That knife had to have been left out for years to rust like that. Victorinox has used high carbon stainless steel in all of their swiss army knives since 1921. The only way it would rust like that is if it was left in a very damp place for several years or was purposely rusted. But from the breaks and damage on the handles, I would bet it was left out in a field...or like most of them it ends up amongst a wood pile.. not sure how that happens, but every swiss army knife I've ever found was in wood piles. another Murphy's law I guess lol
