During the factory seconds sale, I bought a Manix II and a couple of PM's. No issues with the PM's, but I understand why the Manix II was a reject. It seems to have an imperfection (smudge seen at the top/spine of the blade) in the metallurgy/composition that causes it to bleed black into food when using it for prep. Now I love the knife and use it daily. However, I'm starting to wonder if I should stop using it for food prep due to potential harm. I can wash it real good and it'll all but disappear from what you see here. But it still comes right back with use. Anyone experience this before or know what this is?
Thanks!

Use an actual kitchen knife. Stop using your pocket knife.

Solution: don't use a folding pocket knife for food prep at home.

Do you clean your knife prior to prepping food? What about all the other non edible shit you run your utility knife through? Nevermind you just said the coating is bleeding into your good. Prepping food in the scouts while camping is one thing. Using a pocket knife in the kitchen is pants on head retarded. |

Anything else they'll grab a box cutter for, because they don't want to hurt their pocket jewelry. Asbestos suit is on. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Solution: don't use a folding pocket knife for food prep at home. "I use a Glock 34 barrel as a straw and it makes my shirley temple taste funny." sums it up pretty nicely. dear GD, i keep using my lawnmower blade to cut onions for cooking. its hard to do, the blade is too big and it tastes funny. why is that? dear GD, i keep smashing these deck screws with this sledge hammer. i can't understand why they aren't holding things together like i thought they would. whats up? use tools for what the tools are designed for. your pocket knife is not meant to cut acidic, corrosive, or even salty foods daily with no care, and it's not mean to go in the dishwasher.

Whatever food you're cutting is probably oxidizing/staining the blade. It's just cosmetic.
Why you would use a tiny knife for food prep is beyond me though. |

Assuming it turns black on an otherwise white metal surface, it’s likely that acids in the food are causing localized oxidation of un-passivated metal.
The chrome in stainless steels oxidizes in air, creating a passivating layer on the surface. If you have a local area in the blade that’s short on chrome, it’s no longer stainless there. |

I used my spyderco folders as my lunch box knife, because I could fold it and put it in my lunch box.
I used one at home for my daily salad making because it was the sharpest and best size for what I needed, and I could fold it and put it in the drawer. Now I use a small spyderco kitchen paring knife for that, I forget the model at the moment. I have a larger spyderco kitchen knife, the yin or yang, I have them both, I use the non serrated one the most. I wish they still made it. I've used several types of spydie steel in food prep, I've never gotten black deposits on food though. I clean and dry all of my nice knives after each use. |
