  Absolutely. Why would they call it less if it’s actually never? That would be exceptionally terrible marketing.

    Sure, “less” means “fewer” or “not as much as”.

    But the suffix “-less” means “without”:

    • flawless: no flaws
    • spotless: no spots; clean
    • fearless: without fear

      So then it’s genius marketing. Stainless absolutely stains and rusts.

  Yeah. I have a small pocket knife i carry everywhere, it is stainless. I’ve had it for years, and typically bring it in the water with me clipped to my swim suit (incase i need to cut a tangled rope). I wash it like a dish with soap and water, i use it hard and put it away wet, and it has been fine for years and years.

  After all this, i took it on a single trip in salt water, it spotted with rust that night.

  I also have a sig938 sas which has a stainless slide. I keep that dry and oil it on occasion, and yet that one spotted with rust within a year despite me taking good care of it.

  Different grades of stainless make it different grades of rust resistant. Kind of like calling IP67 electronics like the iPhone 7 “waterproof” when they can only really withstand splashing
