Xacto blades rusting?

25% Normal
4 Comments

So I'm a cutter and I use Xacto blades.
Well, I haven't been to great with keeping them sanitized lately, so I decided to sanitize them today. So the best cleaning solution I had was hydrogen peroxide. I thought that'd be fine. So I put all the blades in a glass with hydrogen peroxide and let them sit for a few hours.
Well, I just took them out and they had these weird orangy-red spots on them that looks like rust spots.
Is it normal for them to rust? I thought they were stainless steel, but maybe not? I'm super confused. IIN?!

    Hey, I like to beat the shit out of people in wheel chairs with an aluminum bat. But the bats keep getting dented on their skulls. IIN for an aluminum bat to dent like this?
    (see my point?)

    Yeah they can rust... especially the cheaper ones. I had one in my car that rusted.

    Sorry to hear about your cutting :( I used to cut myself a lot, and I would often use thumb tacks, especially when I did it at work.

      Ugh no, I was really asking about the blades, not cutting. I'm very well aware about the cutting issue, thanks.
