    Thanks oldtoothlessbasmaster for explaining that about stainless steel. It just justifies my anger at the sob at my local yard tossing my knives in the shred pile. I spent about an hour or more busting the handles off around 50 Made in China knifes, you know, the ones in the cheap block sets. Almost all said SS on them. He yanked them out of my SS bucket with his big SUPER magnet and tossed them in his huge shred bin before I could protest. I was like WTF!! Those SAY Stainless Steel !! He said with a straight face “They lie”



    Last time I went there.

    Several yards here buy dirty stainless steel, that's where I put my magnetic stainless, other yards say "if it sticks to a magnet then it goes in with the steel"!

    I heard a worker at a scrap yard call magnetic stainless, "chinese stainless". I liked that description so I adopted it.
