Just curious, but did you get matte or polished stainless?

I bought a matte set a few years ago and had a similar experience with rust in the dishwasher. It would rub right off but was weird.

It seems they can pick up tiny amounts of non-stainless steel on the surface during manufacturing, but once you've washed a several times, they're fine and don't do it anymore.

It's the polished Annapolis set. Another reason why I think it's a bad batch of steel is because one of the knifes had a small separation crack, almost like what slate or sandstone looks like. I've never seen steel do that before.

We have this exact set we bought nearly 5 years ago and they still look nearly brand new. This is really disappointing, I hope they make it right for you!
