It was Ernest Stuart, the cutlery manager of Mosley's who first referred to the new knives as "stainless" after, in experiments, he had failed to stain them with vinegar. "Corrosion resisting" steel would be really the better term, as ordinary stainless steels do suffer corrosion in the long term in hostile environments." from http://www.stainless-steel-world.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
