1000 grit sandpaper and some elbow grease, should make a full recovery
Thefear1984
The holy fuck. Why?
Ucanthankmel8r
Bad idea! Not good for the handles either.

Saddly you will have to kill them with a dull knife
hardhart
BTW, boil it and buff with 000 steel wool, it'd be an awesome blued edge. Or, soak it in citric acid and it comes right off effortlessly.

Get the sand paper out. That is at least 6 hours to bring it back.

Never put a non serrated blade in the MFing dishwasher

Looks like you're going to have to invest in some stones or take it to a local knife sharpener.
Macedonians
Any thoughts on how much it might cost to get someone to do it? I'd learn how to use a whetstone but I'm not trying to fuck it up more
herbertjfarnsworthfusor
My local place does it for really damn cheap, but it's been a decade since I went there, so I don't know anymore.
ArchSchnitz
Bring it over. I'll get the rust off, sharpen it, then we'll use it to chop up your shitbag roommate.

Seems kinda weird that a hq knife would get messed up by a dishwasher.
SABill
Oops!

he ded?
PommedeTerreur
No but he's got tetanus now.
GoSuBuns
Not with that knife unless it's via tetanus.

Honest question... why would the steel rust so quickly in such large blots?
Macedonians
I have NO idea, it went through ONCE
Scipio1770
That's the hamon. The steel changes structure across that wavy line (from martensite to pearlite) which makes it oxidize at a different rate
Scipio1770
Of note, this looks like a reverse quench pattern, where the spine is hardened and the edge is soft, which makes sense for food-type blades
Scipio1770
So it can be routinely and easily sharpened. It also prevents the possibility of a the blade fracturing or snapping if dropped
hardhart
That does not have a real hamon, there is no reverse quenching, low stress structures rust just as fast. Looks like a cheaply clad blade.
Macedonians
When I get it restored will it hurt that edge?
hardhart
You cannot "hurt" an edge unless powered material removal is used and the temperature exceeds the tempering range.
Scipio1770
The restorer is going to try to not take too much material off, but unless he retempers it, you'll have a little less soft edge to hone with
Macedonians
Is retempering significantly more expensive?

High carbon vs low carbon steel. High carbon steel has less corrosion resistance due to the perlite structure. Edge of a knife is often...
xR3V0x
Harder than the spider due to the ability to keep a sharper edge for longer while maintaining a flexible blade. The good news on this...
xR3V0x
Spine*
xR3V0x
Is the rust is likely surface rust. Disassemble the handle, sand and polish the blade, then re-sharpen and attach the handle and you...
xR3V0x
Should be good to go. Just make sure you give your roommate a good thrashing with it beforehand @op
TheFullTity
must be a shitty knife if it's not even dishwasher safe
itsNotAphaseMomThisIsMyLifeNow
You must be ignorant af lol
IReactToCommentsInMemesAndGifs
ZERO sharp knives are "dishwasher safe"
TheFullTity
*shrug* I guess it all depends on what "dishwasher safe" and "sharp" mean
hardhart
No threat to exposed steel (rust is nothing). Only real problems come w/the handle. Heat damage to scales, moisture beneath, epoxy failing.
IReactToCommentsInMemesAndGifs
*shrug* I guess it all depends on if it's a "dollar store" knife or a "$200 santoku" knife
TheFullTity
and this is where I say, at least my dollar store knives weren't ruined by a dishwasher
TheFullTity
I put all of my knives in the dishwasher with no problem. I suppose this is where you tell me my knives aren't "sharp"
TheFullTity
but hey, 200 dollar knives ruined by a room mate is like.. at least 3 problems I don't have
