This, in the city that is constantly repainting its bridge? Maybe the 38 painters employed to keep that bridge orange can be founding members. They should at least get honorary membership cards.

If they didn’t constantly repaint the Golden Gate Bridge, the salt fog off the ocean would eat it. Seriously. The Bay Bridge gets repainted constantly too, except it’s gray instead.

They don’t call it stainfree steel. But it will stain less. It will even rust under some conditions. I’ve seen German knives with the blade stamped “rostfrei” (rust free.) That’s a bit less accurate.

To clear up confusion (since “-less” is often construed to mean the same as “-free” in English) they should have called it stainoccasionally steel.

If it were non-stainless steel then, unless it had some coating like tin, chromium or paint, it would quickly get coated with rust in the normal kitchen – and that rust wold be much harder to get rid of than your fingerprints.

You say that like it’s a bad thing. Industrial grunge finishes might be the next big thing.
